AUBURN, WA – Three masked and armed men pretended to be police while demanding entry into an Auburn home around 2:00 a.m. on Thursday, according to local police.
In a video posted to X, the Auburn Police Department (APD) said the incident occurred in the 31000 block of 117 PL SE. The three suspects, who have not yet been identified, walked up to the home and immediately started kicking at the door. The men announced themselves as Seattle Police while demanding entry.
Once the door was successfully kicked in, the homeowner, apparently not falling for the false flag, armed himself and started shooting at the suspects.
Video shows that while one suspect raised his firearm at the door’s opening, all three immediately fled once the homeowner started shooting.
The homeowner was thankfully not injured during the incident.
“This is why 30 round or 50 round mags are necessary,” one X user commented. “Bad guys had at least 30 rounds combined in their guns.”
APD is looking for assistance to identify these would-be home invaders. Anyone with information is asked to call 253-288-7403.
