Bellevue Chess Man Standoff Ends In Tear Gas Surrender

Bellevue Chess Man Standoff Ends In Tear Gas Surrender

see Timeline Of Terror and Not Terrorism

Thursday July 18, 2013. 52 year old unidentified man in Bellevue WA apartment invites a neighbor to a late night chess game which ends when he gets angry and starts pointing a gun at the man who flees. This started an eight-hour standoff with police and SWAT negotiation team. The man surrendered after the police tossed in flash-bang grenades and tear gas. There is no obvious motive for the man's sudden outburst.

Alternative explanation: could it be a low-level non-lethal terrorist staged incident to create publicity and provoke police?
