The victim grabbed a broom and followed the suspect, who fled to a van in a nearby parking lot,\u201d the Seattle Police Department <a href=\"https:\/\/spdblotter.seattle.gov\/2022\/05\/04\/police-arrest-burglar-after-he-accidentally-shoots-himself-while-fleeing-scene-of-break-in\/\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cAs the suspect was getting into the van, he pointed a gun at the victim and told him to get back. When he saw the gun, the victim turned around, and heard a gunshot moments later. The suspect in the van then sped away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After law enforcement arrived at the victim\u2019s home, they received notification that a man had arrived at a local hospital with a gunshot wound to his head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOfficers went to the hospital, found the injured man was wearing the same clothing as the suspect in the earlier burglary,\u201d SPD added. \u201cPolice believe the suspect accidentally fired his handgun while climbing into his van, striking himself in the head. Officers also learned the suspect\u2019s van was reported stolen and had been used in another crime outside of Seattle. Additionally, the suspect is also a convicted felon, unable to legally possess firearms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Authorities said that they expect to charge the suspect, after he is released from the hospital, for\u00a0burglary, unlawful possession of a firearm, felony harassment, and possession of a stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Law enforcement officials in Seattle arrested a burglar on Wednesday after he accidentally shot himself in the head while trying to flee the scene of a home that he allegedly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":102,"featured_media":1481643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1464275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1464275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/102"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1464275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1464275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1481643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1464275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1464275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1464275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
