LAKE STEVENS, Wash. -- A Tuesday night attempted robbery in Lake Stevens ended badly for the accused robber.
A homeowner who lives in the 7000 block of 126th Drive NE was in his garage with a friend at 6 p.m. when he said two masked men barged in and tried to rob them, according to Shari Ireton with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.
The homeowner's friend, a 33-year-old man, pulled out a gun and shot one of the robbers, according to Ireton. The second robber ran away and the homeowner called 911.

KUDOS for responsible armed citizens!!

Good for his buddy shooting the puke. Too bad he didn't get both with one shot.

Glad to see it. Pretty close to home too.

Ya, hopefully the other one got hit by a semi running away. :tup:

:yeah: Two dead pukes would have been better, but maybe the one that got away will see how costly being a puke can be... :chuckle:

Not far from me either since I'm closer to GF than Arlington

I wish that guy spent more time at the range. :chuckle:

"Just sort of in shock," one neighbor said. "We're all a couple acres in property we're pretty rural back here never had any issues before."
I doubt you'll have any more issues for a while. :tup:

Yep the law of the land rules! Need more armed citizens to clean up the bad apples. Then we can do away with paying taxes to pay citizens to wear badges.... :chuckle:

:yeah: Sure Is.

Most, if not all of these home invasion robberies we get involve drugs. Mostly marijuana so if you live near this guy he is probably growing more than veggies on his property.

Looks like the shooter needs more range time.

You never think it would happen to you until it does. I am reminded of my 85 year old or so neighbor. About 7 years ago he awoke to noise in his basement around 2 am. He figured it was his adult daughter who often came in late when she was in town and would stay at his house. He went downstairs to check on her but had the foresight to go down with his .44. He surprised a night burglar and put a couple rounds in the guy. Ironic enough he is a retired general practitioner that spent his life saving people until this unfortunate situation.
