SEATTLE (AP) - Authorities say the Highway 520 floating bridge has reopened between Seattle and the eastern suburbs after a possibly armed person in a pickup truck was taken into custody.
The Washington State Department of Transportation said on Twitter at about 5 p.m. that the bridge was closed to all traffic because of police activity.
KOMO-TV reports transportation officials responded to a disabled vehicle in the eastbound lanes and that the person in the vehicle was not cooperative.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson said on Twitter that SWAT and a negotiator were on the scene and that the person had been taken into custody just before 6 p.m.
Authorities had said the person earlier had thrown a shotgun from the vehicle and it was unknown if there were more weapons.
