A man in his 70s shot and wounded an intruder who broke into the man's rural home outside Carnation early Wednesday, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
Around 5 a.m., the man, who lives alone in the 3600 block of Lake Langlois Road Northeast, heard someone breaking into his car and went to investigate, said sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart. Just as the man reached his back door, the 35-year-old intruder broke through the door and fought the homeowner, he said.
The homeowner retreated to another room, grabbed a handgun and confronted the intruder in his kitchen, Urquhart said. Another fight ensued, and the man shot the intruder twice, he said.
The homeowner went to a neighbor's house. Both men returned to the house and held the intruder at gunpoint until deputies arrived Urquhart said.
The intruder, possibly a transient living in some nearby woods, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Urquhart.
The homeowner was treated at a hospital for a contusion to his head, he said.
