A 37-year-old man who allegedly threatened a Seattle mosque was arrested Tuesday afternoon following a brief standoff in North Seattle.
According to police, the man had posted threats against a mosque online and later posted that he had purchased an assault rifle and ammunition.
Police say they were tipped to the threats by an out-of-state friend of the suspect.
Police went to the man’s apartment in the 11700 block of Greenwood Avenue North and after a brief standoff took him into custody around 3:30 p.m. There were no reports of injuries.
