MOSES LAKE — Grant County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s help in a Sunday morning burglary-shooting, according to a statement from the GCSO.

The occupants of the home told officers that two men had entered the home, shot the homeowner and fled, taking several of the victim’s firearms with them.

The victim, a 41-year-old man, was treated at Samaritan Hospital for gunshot wounds to the leg. No other injuries were reported. Detectives believe the crime was targeted rather than random, the statement said.
