Police: Sedro-Wooley man sets apartment on fire after attempted stabbing
Sedro-Woolley Police Department (SWPD) says a man was arrested after attempting to stab a person and later attempting to set an apartment on fire. On Tuesday, police say that they responded to a call that a man had tried to stab someone. The victim said he was able to get away without any serious injury. When police arrived at the apartment on 3rd Street, off of Jameson Street, they began setting up a perimeter with the help of the Burlington Police Department. SWPD detectives and the chief arrived to assist, and a search warrant was requested. Police say that they saw smoke coming from the apartment where the suspect was hiding and made several announcements to him with no answer. The Sedro-Woolley Fire Department began evacuating the building. At some point, police say the suspect climbed out of a small window from the back of the apartment with a knife in hand. He refused to listen to commands and asked officers to shoot him, police said. An officer used a less-lethal 40mm launcher on the suspect. These are used to shoot projectiles like tear gas or sponge rounds at a person in an effort to de-escalate a situation without using live ammunition. The round hit the suspect in the hip, and he told officers he was 'done,' according to SWPD. He was booked into Skagit County Jail for first-degree assault and first-degree arson. The fire department said there was 'severe damage' to the apartment and the structural integrity of some of the other units, but no one else was injured.

Police have made contact with a man who allegedly made a threat about Burlington Mall at a Massachusetts gas station on Sunday evening. According to Burlington Police, the man entered the BP gas station on Washington Street in Woburn at around 5:30 p.m. and made threats about the Burlington Mall. Cashier: Man said shooting would happen at mall "This guy just said that in about an hour or so, there's going to be someone in the Burlington Mall with an AR-15," said the gas station cashier, who asked that his name not be used for safety reasons. "When he came into the store, he didn't purchase anything at all. He just came up to me and he said that there was going to be a shooting at Burlington Mall." The cashier said he didn't say anything back but was shocked. "I was very confused because we get a lot of characters coming into the store," said the cashier. "Are they joking or are they for real? That's the decision that I had to make." The cashier called police just to be safe and they searched for the suspect at the mall before it closed. No threat at the mall Stores at the mall closed at 6 p.m. and Burlington Police and Massachusetts State Police were at the mall as a precaution. Late Sunday night, police confirmed there is no active threat to the mall. "It's nerve-wracking to know that my son would be in there and that somebody is saying that they're going to be coming around, shooting up," said Lynda Frisoli, who was at the mall to pick up her son from work. "That's definitely nerve-wracking for me, yes." The suspect was described as a white middle-aged man driving a gray sedan but police confirmed late Sunday night that the search for the car has been called off. Police said the investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
