Gig Harbor homeowner fatally shoots man who broke into his house<\/a><\/p>\n

A Gig Harbor [Washington] homeowner fatally shot an intruder Sunday evening, after the man appeared to break into the wrong house, police said.<\/p>\n

The incident began shortly after 10 p.m., when the unidentified man drove to an address near the corner of 80th Street Northwest and Rosedale Street, said Pierce County Sheriff\u2019s spokesman Sgt. Darren Moss.<\/p>\n

The man drove up into the front yard of the home, broke a window, entered the residence, then began \u201cmarching up their stairs.\u201d Asked whether he was armed, Moss said the man \u201chad a large bottle of alcohol with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe homeowner fired and hit the suspect, who passed away right there,\u201d Moss said. \u201cWe believe that the deceased\u2019s family lives just around the corner somewhere, so he broke into the wrong house.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Moss said that the man was \u201cyelling and screaming at the people inside the house.\u201d He said the homeowner was questioned over the shooting, adding that investigators in the early stages were treating it as an act of self-defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
