Police disarmed a man who brought a gun into a mental health facility Sunday and threatened to shoot his way out, according to a police report.

A hospital employee called police about 10:45 a.m., saying the man’s wife brought him in a few minutes earlier asking for help. The man had become aggressive, making threats and attacking the family dog, she said.

The employee said she left the room for a moment. When she returned, the husband was in the bathroom and the wife was shaking and crying. She said the man had a license to carry a concealed weapon and that he had it in his possession. He told her he was going to shoot his way out of the facility, she said.

The employee called 911 and officers arrived. They evacuated nearby rooms and confronted the man, who refused to hand over the weapon.

One officer pointed a Taser at him and asked that he surrender the weapon. He put his hands on his head as directed, according to the report, and the officers removed a .40-caliber Sig Sauer semiautomatic pistol from a holster under his outer clothing.

He was charged as a concealed carry license holder with carrying a weapon into a prohibited place.
