North Seattle alleged burglary shooting
At 2:35 a.m. police responded to a neighbor calling in a disturbance at the 900 block of N 101st St.
There they found a man in the backyard with a gunshot wound.
He was transferred to Harborview Medical Center but died of his injuries in the hospital.
The homeowner said that the victim has climbed his fence into his yard and had refused to leave.
So the homeowner shot him.
Detectives are still investigating to determine what happened.
