Seattle police report that the victims of a Wednesday home invasion in North Seattle were pepper sprayed by the intruders.
Authorities received a 911 call from one of the victims around 3:30 a.m. who said she came upon one of the suspects after hearing a noise outside her bedroom. The victim reported the suspect sprayed her with pepper spray, and then sprayed the family dog that came to her aid.
The victim told police the intruders also threatened her father with a silver handgun asking where the “stuff” was. The victim told the intruders there was no money in the house. They demanded her cell phone and fled.
The victims, including one more hiding in a back bedroom, were able to call 911 from another phone.
