An early morning home invasion in Texas turned deadly, for the suspects that is.
Three men burst into a home around 4:30am in Harris County, Texas.
According to KHOU,
Family members told deputies that their mother was in the kitchen cooking breakfast with three young granddaughters when the armed men broke in. The woman’s adult son heard the commotion from his bedroom and grabbed his gun.
“… and when he heard ‘please don’t hurt the girls,’ that’s when he took action,” deputies said.
The son wasted no time in shooting and killing one of the suspects.
The other two suspects escaped. There is no description of those suspects, but they were heard speaking Spanish as they entered the home.
This is the 168th defensive gun use we’ve documented in the state of Texas and the 1,306th defensive gun use we’ve documented overall.
