YAKIMA, Wash. -- Three men tried to break into a home west of Yakima while the resident was home.

The Yakima County sheriff's office says he was on the phone to a dispatcher Sunday when a brick came through the window.

The homeowner armed himself with a shotgun as the would-be burglar entered the house. When he saw the gun, the intruder jumped into a getaway car. It sped off with the homeowner firing three shots at the car. The third suspect fled on foot.

A sheriff's deputy and Union Gap police stopped and arrested two men in the car. A Washington State Patrol trooper arrested the third man.

I notice that the homeowner was not arrested. I guess Yakima is not New York.
