A Seattle Pacific University (SPU) student tackled a gunman who was reloading his shotgun after killing one student and wounding two others inside a campus hall Thursday afternoon.
The shooting unleashed a wave of terror across the school as it went into lockdown and students scrambled for cover.
The suspect was identified by a law-enforcement source as Aaron Ybarra, 26, of Mountlake Terrace.
Police on Thursday night were questioning the suspect. He was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of murder, police said. The bail hearing for Ybarra is scheduled at 1:30 today.
