A homeowner outside Poulsbo shot and killed a man who had allegedly tried to enter the house after causing a car wreck nearby on Sunday.
The incident started at about 4:35 p.m. on the 18000 block of Viking Way, leading to the closure of a section of road between Sherman Hill Road and Hallman Road.
Eric William Rose, 28, was declared dead at the scene by paramedics. Coroner Jeff Wallis said Rose lived in the Poulsbo area and an autopsy is scheduled for later this week.
The homeowner was not arrested. He and his wife were cooperative with investigators and gave a statement Monday, Detective Lt. Jon VanGesen said.
Sheriff’s office traffic deputies and detectives are investigating the incident. When the investigation is complete they are expected to forward their reports to the county prosecutor to review, said Deputy Scott Wilson, a spokesman for the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.
Before the shooting, Rose was believed to have been driving a 2008 Jeep Patriot south on Viking Way. Witnesses said he was traveling at a high rate of speed and struck from behind a 2007 Dodge Dakota traveling in front of him.
Rose then continued driving, but crossed into the northbound lane when he struck a 2019 Ford EcoSport. Wilson described the collision as “nearly head-on.”
There were no serious injuries reported from the crash. Wilson said he could not comment on whether Rose was suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
"The driver of the Jeep Patriot fled the collision scene on foot and ran to a nearby residential property location where he attempted to enter the house," the sheriff's office reported in a statement. "A confrontation ensued between the driver and the homeowner that ended when the homeowner fired several shots from a handgun at the driver."
Wilson said investigators are reaching out to those who live on the road and may have surveillance systems or doorway cameras that show the roadway and captured Rose and the Jeep.
“We are trying to determine his actions prior to the collision,” Wilson said.
Those with information on the incident can contact Detective Tim Keeler at 360-337-4825 or Detective Krista Kleinfelder at 360-337-7117.
