Vancouver woman finds felon in garage, fires gun
[size="-1"]07:13 AM PST on Tuesday, February 26, 2008[/size] [size="-1"]By KATHERINE COOK, KGW Staff[/size]
A Vancouver woman took the law into her own hands when she found a wanted felon hiding in her garage Monday afternoon.
"What I did was stupid... I should have had a police officer with me," reflected Dawn Livermore, after the incident unfolded.

Livermore said the intruder kept inching towards the door so she fired a warning shot off to the side. The bullet went into a container filled with camping gear and Guevara-Martinez went out through the side door.
"I ran outside and didn't see police, so I let another round off in the air," Livermore said.

Livermore said she's had a concealed weapons permit for 10 years, but this was the first time she'd ever fired at anything but a practice target. She said she hopes it will be the last time she’ll have to, though she wishes there had never been a first.
"I should have gotten a police officer to go inside with me," she said. "It could have turned out much differently if (Guevara-Martinez) had been carrying a weapon.”
