SEATTLE - A man who confronted three robbers with a handgun after they kicked in the front door of his Green Lake area apartment ended up having the gun stolen from him, police said.

Investigators said the drama unfolded at about 1:10 a.m. Friday in the 5400 block of Meridian Avenue North.

Two people were in the apartment when the three suspects kicked the door down and forced their way inside.

One of the two people in the apartment grabbed a handgun and confronted the three robbers, but one of the robbers also was armed with a handgun, police said.

A standoff followed between the armed suspect and the armed apartment resident. The resident, fearing for his life, eventually dropped his firearm and complied with the robbers.

The second victim, who was lying on the floor, was kicked in the face by a robber during the incident. The suspects were in and out quickly, taking two laptop computers and the victim’s handgun, according to Seattle police.

The suspects left out the back of the apartment and were last seen heading east on 55th Avenue North.

Police arrived at the scene and attempted to track the robbers with a K-9 police dog, but were unsuccessful.

Police did not provide a description of the suspects.

There in lies the problem. Change confronted to shot.

Once the door has been "kicked in," all bets are off and the lead will be flying.

Hollywood teaches that if a good guy has a gun the bad guy will see the light and put his down....doesn't it?

Dead on there Kid! I'm warning them through the door, and if they cross the threshold I'm ending it right there. I can't risk my family's safety like that.

I'd rather take my own gun and shoot myself than to give it up to some fuckup!

Standoff??  I'd be rattlin' off what I got and after that duckin' & kissin' my arse goodbye!

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz!

I don't give a crap about what some stupid shit has placed up in my mug!  I'll just lean in a little closer to make sure he/she has the shot they need!

You have a loaded gun with a trigger, you have a booger hook, what's the problem?

 ???...Waiting for a person who has actually shot people to mention most people, contrary to everyone's self image as John Wayne, cannot shoot another face to face.
The Army spends a great deal of money training soldiers to drop their humanity and kill.
Sill, dropping it seems like suicide. Even if he discovered he couldn't pull the trigger!
