SNOHOMISH — Sheriff’s deputies believe the victim of a reported burglary Sunday was shot with his own gun.
Detectives on Tuesday said the weapon is registered to the victim — a Snohomish man, 22, who was reported in stable condition at a local hospital Tuesday.
Deputies still do not have a good description of the suspect, but there is no evidence that the person is armed and dangerous, sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.
The incident was reported Sunday night at a home along Lincoln Avenue, near First Street.
Investigators were told the man was shot after interrupting a burglary at his home. The extent of his injuries wasn’t disclosed.
