Seattle police arrested a man who they say rammed a shopping cart through a window at a closed sporting goods store and later pointed what appeared to be a rifle at officers.
At 4:15 a.m. Tuesday, police received a report of a burglary at the store in the 2600 block of Southwest Barton Street in West Seattle after the man was seen entering the store after ramming a cart through a window.
When police arrived and spoke to the man, he pointed what appeared to be a rifle at officers and then went back inside the store. The rifle later turned out to be a pellet gun.
Eventually, the man left the store carrying a pellet rifle, firearm ammunition, boots, two coats, and a baseball bat.
Officers were able to deescalate the situation and determined the subject was a danger to himself and others and sent him to Harborview Medical Center for a mental health evaluation.

Officers will request an Extreme Risk Protection Order to prevent him from getting a gun in the future.
