LEAVENWORTH — A 57-year-old Leavenworth man turned the tables on two armed robbers who invaded his home Tuesday.
Authorities say that when two masked men armed with handguns got into the man's home Tuesday night, he confronted them, grabbed one of their guns and shot one in the hand.
The two masked men then fled, said Chelan County Undersheriff Greg Meinzer.
Two men from Snohomish County were later arrested after one of them flagged down an ambulance.
The wounded man, 24, from Everett, was treated at Central Washington Hospital. The other suspect, a 24-year-old Lake Stevens man, is charged with first-degree assault and burglary. The wounded man was not immediately charged.
Meinzer did not release the homeowner's name and says he isn't sure whether the homeowner knew the masked men or if the attempted robbery was a random crime.
