A man who allegedly threatened to shoot up at least one Seattle-area mosque in online posts was arrested Tuesday afternoon after a brief standoff with police.

When police came to talk with the as-yet-unidentified 37-year-old man at his North Seattle apartment, he briefly barricaded himself in and refused to come out. But he eventually surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody.
