One wounded, one at large following attempted home invasion

One man was shot and wounded and a second is at large following an attempted home invasion in North Spokane Saturday night.

The incident happened around 8:30 pm at the Rosewood Club Apartments located at Standard and Magnesium in North Spokane.

According to investigators on the scene, two suspects, armed with a knife and a pellet gun, tried to force their way into one of the apartments.

The resident of the apartment, armed with a small-caliber automatic pistol, shot one of the intruders, striking him twice in the chest and lower torso.

The suspect who was shot fled the apartment and got as far as the sidewalk in front of the apartment building before he collapsed.

The second suspect fled the scene and is still at large.

The injured man was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The resident is talking and cooperating with the investigators and says that he doesn’t know who the suspects are and why they were trying to get into his apartment.
