EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — A man accused of shooting at police stations and officers in three Washington state cities has been charged with attempted murder, assault and drive-by shooting.

Hans Hansen of Granite Falls pleaded not guilty Thursday and is being held without bail in the Snohomish County Jail.

The Daily Herald reported (http://bit.ly/1AzfNur ) that court papers say the 43-year-old Hansen was suicidal on Oct. 15 and planned to anger as many officers as he could until someone shot him.

Hansen surrendered after he was shot in the head. The bullet grazed his skull and he was not seriously hurt.

The shootings occurred in Granite Falls, Lake Stevens and Marysville.

Summer McIntosh storms to Pan Pacs 400 IM title, rebounding from 200 free runner-up finish

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — Summer McIntosh of Canada led all the way in winning the 400-meter individual medley at the Pan Pacific Championships on Thursday night, bouncing back after a runner-up finish in the 200 freestyle. Australia led all but 150 meters of the women's 4 x 200 freestyle relay, with the team of Inez Miller, Lani Pallister, Hannah Casey and Milla Jansen winning in 7 minutes, 42.40 seconds to lower the country's championship mark of 7:44.12 set at the 2018 Pan Pacs. Katie Ledecky swam the anchor leg for the U.S., but couldn't overhaul Jansen although she got within a body length in the closing meters. Erin Gemmell, Anna Peplowski, Rylee Erisman and Ledecky took silver in 7:43.10, also going under the old championship mark. “I've kind of struggled with the 200 individually from a flat start over the last couple years, but I always know I'll have something in me for the relay and I'll pull out a good split,” Ledecky said. “I love swimming that anchor leg.”
