Shots fired, bomb reported at Renton home

Apr 18, 2012, 8:09 AM | Updated: 5:07 pm

SWAT teams surrounded a home in Renton after reports of
shots fired and possible explosives in a car.

The King County Sheriff’s office said that the alleged home invasion that brought law enforcement to the scene, may never have happened.

According to reports, three armed men went into the house in the10200
block of 128th Ave. SE
, said they were looking for
something, fired shots, and then ran out.

On their way out of the house, the men told the residents
they put explosives in a car outside.

But, the sheriff’s office says they have reason to doubt those at the house were telling the truth when they said three armed men broke inside and fired shots.

The bomb squad remained at the scene into the afternoon but so far, no explosives have been found.
