Topeka ? A U.S. military veteran who went into a Veterans Affairs medical center with a gun Sunday and threatened to hurt himself was admitted to the hospital after surrendering the weapon, officials said.

VA spokesman Jim Gleisberg told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the man is now a patient at the Colmery-O’Neil VA Medical Center in Topeka. He said the man had served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The man arrived at the hospital’s emergency room around 12:10 p.m. Sunday and asked to talk to a police officer. After VA police arrived, the man pulled out the weapon and threatened himself, Gleisberg said.

Gleisberg said no one else was threatened. No one was hurt and there were no reports of shots being fired.

Meanwhile, staff called for help and other law enforcement agencies and a SWAT team responded. Gleisberg said the situation ended around 1:45 p.m.

Neither Gleisberg nor Topeka police could say why the man eventually surrendered.
