A Ballard homeowner said he used a hammer to fight off two intruders who kicked down his front door Saturday morning. The confrontation happened in a part of Seattle where residents say they feel forced to be self-reliant amid a string of burglaries. Orr and other neighbors have called on city leadership to address a perceived lack of accountability and the frequency of residential break-ins. Orr told KIRO 7 he was inside his house when he heard the intruders enter. He managed to scare one of the people out of the house, but the individual returned and charged at him.
