Deputies found the suspect, identified as Luis Antonio Angel Fergoso, of Milton-Freewater, at the scene. Witnesses told Deputies, and they observed the suspect dancing around, acting erratically, yelling, and getting in and out of a parked vehicle.

Deputies found Fergoso standing near the car, he also reportedly fired off at least two rounds from the firearm.

Joined by officers from the Milton-Freewater Police Department, Walla Walla County Sheriff's Department, and Washington State Patrol,  a Deputy was able to use what the UCSO said were de-escalation techniques to convince Fergoso to calm down and surrender without incident.
