Burglar Shot By Passerby

A suspected burglar is recovering after being shot by driver who happened to be passing by.

The incident began with a burglary at a home on Bainbridge Island where the homeowner says he found a man in his kitchen going through drawers and cabinets. The intruder reportedly grabbed a knife and went after the homeowner who retreated to the backyard where he armed himself with a hammer.

Police say the suspect then left the house with a knife and confronted another man who was sitting in his car.

The driver fired three shots and held the suspect until police arrived.

Officers say the driver acted in self-defense and will not be charged.

The wounded suspect is expected to recover.-[source]
