Wiegert received medical treatment at St John Medical Center and was then booked into Cowlitz County Jail on charges of Attempted Murder 1st Degree, Burglary 1st Degree and Unlawful Possession of Firearm 1st Degree, in addition to the unrelated warrant.
The male homeowner tried to block Wiegert from entering the home and told him to stop or he would shoot. Wiegert was able to overpower the homeowner and forcibly entered the home. After being knocked to the ground by Wiegert, the male fired and struck Wiegert in the shoulder.
The homeowners, a retired couple, told deputies they were in their home when Wiegert slammed into their living room window and then tried to enter through the unlocked sliding glass door. Wiegert was armed with a piece of pipe with a hooked end.
The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Joseph Wiegert, had a gunshot wound to his shoulder. A records check revealed Wiegert had an outstanding felony warrant. Deputies learned Wiegert had recently stayed at a residence a few houses away.
Update: Deputies and Castle Rock Police responded to the residence. The homeowners identified the male suspect, who had exited the home at this point. The suspect did not comply with commands and was taken into custody after a taser was deployed.
The suspect assaulted a resident and was shot during the altercation. The suspect's injuries are not life threatening. A resident suffered minor injuries.
Additional information, including suspect identification and charges, will be released at a later time.
