A Renton man was arrested after pointing a gun at family members Oct. 21.

Police were called when a 39-year-old man drove by two family members in a minivan and pointed a gun out the window at them.

The family has been having a dispute about how to split up the mother’s estate. The mother is still alive and living in Bonney Lake.

While the police officer was interviewing the two family members, the suspect drove up and pointed the gun out the window again. The officer drew his weapon and told the man to drop his weapon. The man complied and was handcuffed.

The man admitted that he was planning to shoot his relatives if necessary, but not “to kill but to injure them.” He said when he pulled up a second time, he was not pointing his gun at the officer, rather was simply trying to hand his gun to the officer.
