Call it the understatement of the year: After an alleged burglar thought he could get away with a home invasion, police say they arrived at the scene to find “there was no threat to the public.”
That’s because the threat to the public was shot and killed by the homeowner.
According to KIRO-TV in Seattle, the burglary attempt happened in broad daylight in the Seattle suburb of Lake Forest Park, Washington, last Wednesday.
The burglar had forced his way into the occupied home, according to KIRO; it’s unclear whether he knew whether the resident was at home or not. He was, however, and he had availed himself of his Second Amendment rights.
Lake Forest Park Police said they were called to the scene shortly after 1:30 p.m.
