Mike McBee, Wash. man accused of firing shots at homes, arrested after Tacoma standoff, authorities say

(CBS/AP) TACOMA, Wash. - Authorities said a Washington man who allegedly fired shots at homes in a northeast Tacoma neighborhood was arrested Tuesday night after a long standoff with SWAT officers.

Mike McBee, 67, surrendered after being assured his two dogs would be cared for, Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said.

"He had his own two dogs in there and a neighbor's dog he kidnapped. That dog's back and OK," Troyer said.

Troyer said McBee would be booked into jail on "multiple charges yet to be determined."

No one was injured in the gunfire late Tuesday afternoon.

Residents who dialed 911 described a man walking through the neighborhood, shooting at homes.

Authorities were not sure what led to the gunfire. Deputies found a car and a house with bullet holes but were not sure how many rounds were fired.

"We're not sure what set him off," Troyer said. "We know he has some mental health issues." Officers planned to talk to neighbors "to see if there was a neighborhood beef."

McBee retreated to his own home as SWAT officers arrived, but talked by phone to sheriff's negotiators and friends they brought in. He also withstood repeated gas canisters lobbed into the house in an effort to drive him out.

Troyer said he didn't know what kind of weapons McBee had. The sheriff's office planned to return to the house Wednesday with a search warrant.
