A 24-year-old man and his wife were sleeping in their Washington home when a 51-year-old man broke in. The homeowner called the police and grabbed his gun while waiting for authorities to arrive. When the homeowner saw the suspect charging toward him, however, he shot the intruder and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.
