It's unknown why the homeowner had a handgun, Because Washington state has a decent concealed carry law, despite the best efforts of those ninnies at the Seattle Times?

Washington state is very liberal, but the citizens have a very broad authority to use deadly force:
RCW 9A.16.050
Homicide By other person When justifiable.
Homicide is also justifiable when committed either:
(1) In the lawful defense of the slayer, or his or her husband, wife, parent, child, brother, or sister, or of any other person in his presence or company, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished; or
(2) In the actual resistance of an attempt to commit a felony upon the slayer, in his presence, or upon or in a dwelling, or other place of abode, in which he is.

He probably couldn’t figure out it was the suspect that broke the glass to begin with to gain entry, and just ran back out the way he entered before dropping dead.

No one should be allowed to touch anything more dangerous than a pillow. And I’m not even sure about that because a pillow can be used to smother someone. I suggest all people henceforth be required to sit quietly with their feet on the floor and their hands folded neatly in their laps. ;)

It's unknown why the homeowner had a handgun, Petersen said. This statement came from the Kent police spokesman??? It's astonishing that Washington is a shall issue state. At least for now.
