A standoff in Bellevue between King County Sheriff’s deputies and a man wanted in a Renton shooting ended peacefully Wednesday night when the man surrendered.

According to KOMOnews, the man, a 23-year-old Renton resident, was spotted by deputies in his parked car in the 4800 block of Lakemont Boulevard. When deputies approached, he put a gun to his mouth and threatened to kill himself, according to Cindi West with the King County sheriff’s office. The Renton shooting incident involved a man being shot in the leg.

During the long standoff, the man’s girlfriend sat down in the parking lot between deputies and the man’s car and wouldn’t leave. A hostage negotiator eventually talked the man into surrendering.

“We just want him to give himself up safely. We don’t want him to hurt himself, but we’re also concerned for our safety because he may turn the gun on us,” West said.

During the incident, a nearby shopping center, which included Matthew’s Thriftway, was locked down with employees and customers inside. Customers who were inside the grocery store were told via a loudspeaker that they couldn’t leave. They were eventually led away from the front windows and let out the back of the store, KOMO reported.
