A Seatac homeowner shot an intruder in self defense on the evening of Feb. 21, according to Sgt. Cindi West with the King County Sheriff's Office.

Around 6:30 p.m. a man living on the 3700 block of S. 191st St. heard a knock at his door followed by ringing of the doorbell. The man decided not to answer the door and shortly after heard the slider breaking on his back door, West said.

The man was in his upstairs bedroom and armed himself with a handgun while calling 911. One intruder came into the home and headed upstairs. The homeowner fired his weapon once and struck the suspect in the head.

The male suspect is in stable condition at Harborview as of Feb. 22, according to West.

West said one additional suspect fled the scene. A suspect description was not available.
