CDA Burglary Suspect Shot

Two suspects are still at large and a third suspect is in custody after being shot by a 74YO man in a possible burglary attempt in the 1100 block of Margaret Avenue late Monday night. According to CPD Blue reports, the man awoke about 11:40 p.m. when his dog jumped on the bed. The dog was shaking so badly that he knew something was wrong. Grabbing a handgun, he walked into the kitchen where he found two males standing outside his sliding-glass door. He yelled at the suspects who appeared to be coming into the residence after him. That's when he fired his gun at them and called 911. Later, officers found a man with a gunshot wound at the KMC emergency room. They arrested wounded Shaw A. Crump (pictured), 24, Coeur d'Alene, charging him with burglary. Police are still seeking Jake S. Smith, 18, of Hayden and Eli Skalak, 29, of Coeur d'Alene/Huckleberries.
