Another, dressed in all black, joins in and tries to boot the door down. 

The gunman in the gray then runs at it and tries to use his force to get it open before the third man, wearing brown pants, attempts to kick it again.

But the homeowner fires several shots at the masked men who only flee when a bullet shatters the window on the screen door. 

Authorities were then called to the property and a resident at the address told responding officers that three men tried to break into the home. 

‘When officers arrived at the scene, a resident at the address reported an attempted burglary at their home involving three suspects,’ a police spokesman said. 

‘Security footage from the home showed three masked men carrying guns announcing themselves as “Seattle police” before trying to kick in the door.

‘The homeowner was armed and quickly started firing shots at the intruders through the door. 

‘After multiple shots were fired, the three suspects fled. Auburn Police Department Detectives are working hard to try to identify the three suspects in this case.’

The agency is asking for those who recognize the suspects to call the police tip line. 

The incident follows two other attempted armed home invasions reported in Kent earlier this week.
