A homeowner in Kent, Washington, opened fire on alleged home intruders, critically wounding one, just before 3:00 a.m. on Monday.
The house is home to “a multi-generational family,” KING5 noted. The family member who shot the alleged intruder is a 24-year-old man who was awoken by his wife after she heard strange noises.
The 24-year-old confronted the intruders and opened fire, striking a male suspect.
KIRO 7 reported that the alleged intruder was “shot multiple times” and a gun was found lying near him.
After police entered and “cleared the home…[they] began life-saving medical treatment” for the wounded suspect,” according to KOMO News.
The wounded suspect was hospitalized in critical condition. None of the family members in the home were harmed during the incident.
