New Details Emerge in Shoreline Home Invasion

SHORELINE, WA - A frightening account of a home invasion that occurred early Saturday in Shoreline has emerged after the arrest of two suspects by King County Sheriff's detectives.

The detectives arrested a 27-year-old and 26-year-old this week, both Seattle residents. Both men were booked into the King County Jail on suspicion of robbery and burglary. A third man involved in the break-in died after being shot during the robbery by the homeowner.

The King County Sheriff's office said that three men, two carrying rifles, barged into the condominium along the 145000 block of Whitman Avenue North before 7 a.m. Saturday and forced the two residents - a man and his girlfriend - to their knees, demanding they hand over drugs and money.

But the homeowner fought back against one of the robbers, and was able to grab his own rifle. He shot the man - later identified as Charles Frost, 26 - who died at the scene. The other two robbers escaped.

The King County Prosecutor's office is in the process of determining charges to bring against the two suspects arrested this week.
