EVERETT, WA — A suspect has been taken into custody after an incident which sent the Snohomish County courthouse into lockdown, the Snohomish County Sheriff said Monday.

The sheriff's office said the courthouse at 3000 Rockefeller Avenue was locked down while they negotiated with the armed suspect, now identified as a 32-year-old Woodinville man, in the lobby.

No injuries were reported and the man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail, authorities said.

While negotiations were underway, no one was permitted to enter or exit the courthouse and roads surrounding the courthouse were closed.

As of late Monday, the courthouse was still closed to the public, according to the sheriff's office.
