Homeowner Defends Family from Giant Intruder in Late-Night Encounter

In the early hours of Tuesday morning, a Washington state homeowner confronted a terrifying situation when a “giant” male intruder entered the bedroom he shares with his wife. The incident, which took place at 1:27 a.m. in the 26600 block of 134th Avenue SE, left the homeowner and his family in shock.

Kent police reported the details to KOMO-TV, and the homeowner, still too shaken to reveal his identity, shared his harrowing experience exclusively with the station.

“You hear stories, and you never think it’s gonna be you — until it’s you, until it’s your family,” he said.

The homeowner described waking up to find the intruder, who he estimated to be at least 6 feet, 5 inches tall, standing in his bedroom with the light turned on.

“It was quick. I woke up, and there was this giant standing in my bedroom,” he recalled.

Reacting swiftly, the homeowner began hitting the intruder with items from a nearby nightstand. This initial struggle allowed him just enough time to retrieve his firearm from a safe.

“I think [being hit with objects] helped to push him out of the door, and I had just enough time to run for my safe [and retrieve my gun],” he explained, adding that he “shot two rounds” but was unsure if he struck the intruder.

The urgency of the situation was heightened by the presence of multiple family members in the home. Besides his wife and daughter, the homeowner’s brother and his family were also staying there, totaling five children in the house at the time.

Despite the chaos, the homeowner did not hesitate to defend his loved ones.

“This is my safe house, this is my home, this is where we live,” he asserted. “I gotta protect my family; that’s just the end of it.”

The incident serves as a stark reminder that such threats can occur unexpectedly, and the homeowner’s actions underscore the instinct to protect one’s family at all costs.
