Police began investigating one incident around 2:05 a.m. Friday, responding to a reported burglary at a commercial building in the 4200 block of Rainier Avenue South. A 42-year-old man was shot after he broke into the business and was confronted by the armed 71-year-old owner, who allegedly shot the intruder in self-defense, the Seattle Police Department said in a blog post.
The man was shot in the hand and was found by police a few blocks away from the business. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition and was placed under arrest for investigation of burglary.
The business owner told detectives that the alleged burglar was armed with a blade. The gun used in the shooting was seized for evidence, as were the shears that the police believe were wielded by the 42-year-old suspect.
