The terrorist....
John Wimberly Smith died inside his apartment in the 13400 block of Southeast Stark Street.
He refused to come out of the apartment after a domestic disturbance call as police tried to negotiate for more than five hours.
No one else was injured in the incident.
Police were called at about 2:32 a.m., to the apartment where a woman told police that Smith assaulted her and threatened her with a gun.
Smith remained inside the victim’s residence armed with a handgun, but the victim was able to get outside to call police.
The children, ages 11 and younger, were asleep inside the apartment.
As officers tried to talk with Smith, he refused to leave the apartment.
At about 8:50 a.m., the three children came out and were quickly moved out of the area by officers.
After the children were out of the apartment, Smith would no longer talk to officers. At about 9:30 a.m., after not hearing anything from Smith or seeing any movement in the apartment, SERT officers fired tear gas into the apartment.
At about 10 a.m., a robot with a camera was sent into the apartment and found Smith deceased inside a windowless bathroom from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The terrorist....
He spent eight years carving his hole in the side of the mountain, camouflaging the rugged underground bunker with ferns and sticks and stocking it with a generator and ammunition boxes sealed in Ziploc bags.
Suspected in the deaths of his wife, daughter and pets last weekend, he headed there prepared for the long haul with high-powered rifles, scope and body armor.
Seattle-area tactical officers who slogged for hours over dangerously steep, muddy ground to find him were prepared too.
They pumped in tear gas, called for him over bullhorns, and, after 22 hours, set off explosives along the top of the bunker Saturday.
Keller was inside, already dead of a self-inflicted gunshot.
A handgun was next to his body.
