This is one of those "feel good" stories from my perspective. Make your own decision.
Harris County Texas, home
to the greater metropolitan area of the City of Houston, saw an early morning
home invasion turn deadly for one of three thugs that forced their way into the
home of an extended family of eight.
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 son probably startled the invader as he quickly exchanged shots with one home invader, but got off the lethal shot to the thug without anyone else being wounded. The two other thugs escaped and are being sought by police.
The family, which owns a construction business, told investigators it was the first time they had ever been burglarized.
Investigators are now trying to determine why the family was targeted. Continue Reading Khou
I don't want to be presumptuous, but the victims own a construction business, which might make them a more lucrative target than the average family. Home invasions are seldom done by chance in that the home invaders would simply choose a home randomly. Usually home invasions are based upon a casing of the family, the home, new cars visible or some other symbol of what could indicate wealth to be had by the home invaders.
Most home
invasions are done at night for the element of surprise and they are often done
by multiple individuals to gain immediate dominance of residents within the
first minute of the break-in and confrontation with residents.
Apparently,
the break-in, which was reported to have occurred at 4:30 am, actually caught the home
invaders by surprise and off guard as the family's gun wielding son acted so
swiftly.
