Police responded to reports of gunfire in the Washington
state city's Brighton neighborhood, south of downtown, around
the time students usually leave school for the day, the Seattle
Police Department said in a statement.
The man was also trying "to lure several children into his car",
according to separate reports received by the department.
Local media reported there would be heightened security on
Wednesday at the schools, which lock exterior doors during a
"shelter-in-place" process, and that there had been no injuries.
Police arrested the 33-year-old man and recovered a loaded
handgun after he was indentified by a witness.
He was being booked into King County Jail for "numerous crimes",
police said.
