Homeowner shoots robber who hops fence, charges with unidentifiable object
A homeowner in his 60s fatally shot a man who jumped a fence into his yard and charged at him early Friday evening.
The homeowner caught the suspect breaking into his car that was parked inside his yard and charged at him with an unidentified object. That’s when the homeowner shot him at least once with a shotgun. The suspect died at the scene.
The homeowner called police after the incident and waited for officers to arrive. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and after an investigation, deputies said they don’t expect any charges to be filed against the homeowner.
The homeowner in his 60’s was in his house around 7 in the evening when the suspect broke into his car. His son said it’s the second time he’s been robbed in the past two weeks. The homeowner has lived at this house for more than 40 years.
“If you’re breaking into a place at 7 in the afternoon and the dude is there, that’s pretty stupid,” The homeowner’s son Ray said, “Hopefully now the word will get out and people will think twice before they jump the fence.”
Because of men and women like this who use defensive gun use, it’s becoming increasingly more dangerous to be a criminal in America.
This is exactly what we need to show people. You pay the price for doing the crime. Yes you might get a couple years in prison for burglary if caught, but more looming than that is that you may turn out like this criminal: dead for just trying to steal some crap. We want to make more people thinking about breaking the law question if it’s worth it.
We as citizens will continue to practice our rights and protect our homes and families against intruders like these. You dare and cross us, we will defend ourselves and quite possibly kill justifiably under law.
