Texas homeowner shoots, kills 3 men and injures 2 during home invasion

A Texas homeowner in east Houston shot and killed three home invaders wearing ski masks.

Three men were killed and two others were injured after dozens of shots were fired by a homeowner in Texas during a home invasion early Sunday, officials said.

The incident happened around 1 a.m. in east Houston after five men wearing ski masks broke into the home, police told KPRC.

The male resident inside then grabbed his weapon and opened fire at the men.

Houston Police said the homeowner appeared to have been defending himself.

"The homeowner appears to have defended himself," Houston Police Department homicide detective Travis Miller told KTRK-TV.

A shootout then took place between the groups, according to police.

"We have multiple, multiple shell casings from several different types of guns," Miller said.

The suspects forced themselves into the home, triggering a shootout, police told local media. (KTRK via NNS)

A neighbor told KTRK he heard the shots and went outside to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"I heard around five or six gunshots," he told the television station. "I'm pretty sure there were more before that."

One of the suspects was found dead in front of the house, while the others fled in an SUV and on foot. Police told KPRC that the SUV crashed into a pole nearby and a second suspect was found dead inside.

A third suspect who was in the SUV fled, collapsed in the street, and later died, KPRC reported.

The fourth and fifth suspects, who were also injured in the shooting, were taken to the hospital. The incident remains under investigation by police, who did not release additional information. The homeowner was not injured.

Should a death sentence be required for stealing property?

It's not a sentence though, it's a result or consequence. Don't come in to MY HOME, that I PAY FOR, trying to take things that are MINE or hurt the people I LOVE, or I'll shoot you in the face.

Now the good news for people that think the way you do is that if this happens in Portland, a liberal jury would rule against the home owner if they sued

In fact, Fox News has a bevy of controversies.

Now, which one is light years ahead of the other in credibility?

Yeah, you're wrong for that. And IDGAF what you say.

Even if caught they wouldn't get the death penalty so you should be able to apply it?

No.

Your possessions really aren't that important.

A death penalty? That would be murder.
Firing on someone you don't know who is breaking into your home and you don't know if they mean violence or not is an altogether different thing especially when there were several buglers.
If you're going to break into someone's home while they are there, I figure you're pretty much open to possible retaliation. Should it be children, that would be tragic but I would blame the parents.
You'd think the homeowner would be careful that it wasn't a relative or close friend before hastily firing. Still, it's hard to blame the homeowner unless he did it just for retribution and not because he could hold the perps until police arrived.

Wow. So what you are saying is that a far left group won more awards from their left dominated media peers than a right wing group like Fox did?

Who would have ever ever ever guessed?

Well, except me anyway.

Nope. You're supposed to put your hands up and do what they say and hope they don't kill you.

Who doesn't trust people who would break into your house in the middle of the night?

What accolades did Fox News win? I count goose egg.
Look, I can't help it if credible accolades tend to come from the Left. Perhaps the Left is onto something more factual than the Right. e.g. Global Warming, women's rights, treating people with respect, you know, the multitude of common decency that is taught in my mainstream church every Sunday. What would Jesus do? It's a good starting point.

My family is.....I am.

I have no idea what your intentions are If you break into my house. My family means more to me than LITERALLY anything, and I will end anyone that threatens that
 
Why does it have to be one or the other?

Lock your doors, you live in fear.

Have insurance and its common sense.

Well for me its common sense to lock my doors so it makes it harder for someone to break in and hopefully just move on. Why? Not because I fear the break in, because I don't want to have to deal with the reports and the attempt to get my things back, or have to go replace them (which I have never been given full value and has always cost me out of pocket).

If someone is going to rob me and they have to break in, then I have cameras to catch them.

@dviss1, remember I had someone break into our home and pass out and take a nap in our bed at our previous houses. Do you know how invasive that is? We had over 3k of items stolen and was given a check for $992.

Its not about fear. Its not about wanting to go through the hassle of dealing with punks, even in an aftermath situation. To me, its common sense.

Many people who go to rob you can also be capable of taking your life. Id rather not be put into the situation where I have to figure out if the person robbing me is of that kind or not, because it will be him first.

I value all life and equality . Doesn't mean i'm going to let myself be put in a life and death situation without being ready to take a life myself.

Quick question:

Should the guy be killed by you or anyone else for what he did?

Which guy? The guy who slept in our bed? No. Not in THAT situation.

However. What if my wife had been home and the door wasn't locked? How do I know he wouldn't have tried to bring harm to her? Locking the door forced him to break a window, of which, if she was home, would have been heard and alerted her. Leaving the door unlocked and he could walk in virtually silently without her knowing.

Common sense to me. Not fear fueled.

I'm also not sure why it matters if I think he should die for what he did?
