In Lake Stevens, Wash., the owner of a convenience store received a call from his mother about a man who was in the garage of the home working. The man and his adult son went to the home to investigate. Upon entering the garage, the pair discovered the intruder had created a barrier made of wood and placed knives and other weapons around the room for easy access. The man saw the home invader reach into his coat for a weapon. The armed citizen drew his own firearm. In response, the suspect attacked. Then both father and son pinned the man to the ground. Police arrived on the scene and arrested the intruder. (Kirk.com, Seattle, Wash., 3/ 10/19)
