The Lynnwood Library will open again Monday, after being closed Sunday when a woman walked through it carrying a shotgun.
“It’s terrifying, I mean, this is our little community and we want it to be safe,” Mary Jo Green told KIRO 7. “That’s stuff you hear about that happens somewhere else and not here.
Police were called at about 11:50 a.m. and found the woman in an employee area of the building. They ordered her to drop the weapon, but she wouldn’t do it until they assured her that they were “the real police.”
No shots were fired, according to the Lynnwood Police Department.
Police suspect the 46 year old suffers from mental health problems.
