Overview

• Prosecutors in Thurston County charged 29-year-old Gunnar Schubert with second-degree burglary and third-degree malicious mischief for the Oct. 5 incident at the Capitol in Olympia.
• Charging documents and released surveillance video indicate he used hammers to break through an office window before toppling items and starting a fire in the State Reception Room.
• Washington State Patrol said the episode does not appear politically motivated and described the suspect as experiencing a mental-health crisis.
• Judge Chris Lanese ordered a mental-health evaluation to determine whether Schubert should be sent for involuntary treatment.
• Officials estimate roughly $750 in damage as repairs proceed and a security review continues, with Schubert represented by a public defender and due back in court Friday to enter a plea.
