A Tri-City regional SWAT team was sent to arrest Dominick Steven Furino, 57, of West Pasco, police said. He made several threats against other Hanford workers because of an ongoing medical dispute with his employer.

Furino may have been armed and dealt with “potential mental health issues,” police said.
