A homeowner in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, shot an alleged burglar who was armed with a butcher knife as he tried to make entry into a home on Friday.
The Charlotte Observer noted the alleged attempted burglary occurred shortly before 5 p.m.
On October 25, 2022, Live5News reported that Keon Washington allegedly attempted to make entry a home and was shot by the homeowner. They note that Washington allegedly refused numerous warnings to cease trying to make entry prior to being shot.
Washington was treated for non-life-threatening wounds then taken into custody.
The Harrisburg Bureau of Police pointed out that the homeowner “was lawfully armed with a firearm.”
Washington is charged with “felony trespassing and attempted burglary charges, as well as terroristic threats and recklessly endangering another person.”
