From the article:
When asked what the public should do if they see someone stealing their vehicle or property, Fagan said “it’s safer to call 911 and let police respond,” adding that “you don’t know what other people are willing to do.”

Evidently the truck owner wasn't willing to let his truck be stolen.

Well, good he stopped the crime in progress, hope he can show he shot in self-defense. At least one of the two criminals won’t be preying upon people again. The other, I hope she has a long, life long, time in jail.

If the stolen truck was heading right at the owner, he’s probably okay (depending on the DA). Otherwise, he’s in trouble. And his legal fees will probably end up being way more than the cost of the truck.

Never call the police after shooting a criminal.

Well, to defend the Lynnwood cops (with whom I am quite familiar), they would have been at that hotel, in force, within two minutes, and they would have been real serious about hunting down that stolen truck ASAP. Lynnwood, WA is not Chicago.

Looked to see what state the town was located in ... probably screwed as the state is Washington State, a vassal state of California.

Private citizens in the State of Washington have much broader authority to use deadly force than law enforcement officers.

Shooting at a fleeing felon is well within the law. The fact that that Lynnwood is in Snohomish County is also good. The Sheriff is not concerned with the the result of criminal conduct.
