VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - A man who carried a gun into a Vancouver mental health clinic caused those in the building to flee Monday as Clark County sheriff’s deputies responded.
Sgt. Duncan Hoss says no shots were fired and nobody was hurt.
The Vancouver-area man told a doctor who remained to talk with him that he intended for police to kill him.
Hoss says the doctor left and negotiators talked the man into surrendering.
The incident began about 10 a.m. at the University Plaza building at Salmon Creek and was over in less than an hour.
The sheriff’s office says 39-year-old Gregory Castro was booked into jail for investigation of assault, unlawful possession of a firearm and theft of a firearm.
