TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman says a 28-year-old woman who surprised a burglar in her home was stabbed in the leg when she wrestled with the man.
Spokesman Ed Troyer says the encounter took place Monday afternoon in Fircrest, west of Tacoma.

She was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
