Suicidal soldier prompts SWAT standoff

Suicidal soldier prompts SWAT standoff

A suicidal soldier prompted a SWAT standoff in Spokane County this afternoon.

A few minutes before noon, a couple called police after finding a bloody man in a truck parked near Nevada Street and Magnesium Road that was running for more than an hour and a half, said sheriff’s Spokesman Sgt. Dave Reagan.

Police thought the 35-year-old man may have been armed with a gun because he is a military reservist, Reagan said. The SWAT team responded after the man refused to exit the vehicle and began revving his engine.
