Authorities in Seattle successfully took a woman armed with a handgun into custody following an hourlong standoff at the FBI building on Wednesday. The incident unfolded when the woman entered a publicly accessible area where individuals must wait to be buzzed into the lobby, as confirmed by an FBI spokesperson.
According to the Seattle Police Department, the woman brandished the gun towards herself. Fortunately, a hostage negotiation team was able to de-escalate the situation, convincing her to place the firearm at her feet and surrender peacefully.
