Homeowner shoots, kills intruder in strange home invasion

 Homeowner shoots and kills intruder in Pierce County

Police said a homeowner shot and killed a man who crashed through a gate and broke into his house near Buckley.

  The shooting happened in rural Pierce County at the corner of 258th Avenue East and 164th Street East about 11 p.m. Monday.

  Police said the intruder drove up the driveway at a high rate of speed, broke through a steel gate, mangling it, and then crashed into a car.

 The driver then went to the house, pounded on the door, broke some glass and forced his way in.
  There was a scuffle, and the 67-year-old homeowner was punched multiple times.  At some point, he was able to reach for his gun and shot the man three or four times, killing him, deputies said.
