Man Shot at Federal Courthouse

CBS News (and Seattlest's mom) are reporting that a man was shot this afternoon at the Federal Courthouse.

The man allegedly approached the security checkpoint holding a grenade in his hand and carrying a backpack. After making threats, the man was shot by police and federal agents. They were not allowing firefighters to treat the man, whose condition remained unknown, until the contents of the backpack were checked out by the bomb squad.

Not a good day to be on jury duty.

[4 p.m. update: The man is dead, the grenade was inactive, the backpack held no explosives.]
