TOLEDO, Wash. — A homeowner shot and killed a stranger he caught coming up the stairs inside his residence in Toledo.
The Lewis County sheriff’s office says the 62-year-old resident was awakened about 10:40 p.m. Tuesday by the sound of someone breaking into his home.
When the intruder refused two commands to “freeze,” the homeowner fired once. The suspect died at the scene.
