SAN ANTONIO -- A homeowner shot two men, killing one, when he heard someone breaking into his SUV.

It happened on Lightstone Drive near Stone Oak and Hardy Oak Boulevard shortly before 2 a.m. Police say the owner of a parked SUV heard someone attempting to break into it. That's when, according to police, he went outside and spotted someone inside his vehicle.

As he approached the vehicle the owner thought he spotted a gun. The SUV owner then fired at the suspect, hitting him one time in the upper torso. Police say the getaway driver then sped off. The SUV owner fired through the windshield killing the driver.

As of now, the owner is said to not be facing any charges because he was defending his property. The second suspect was taken to SAMM-C in critical condition.

Seems excessive

perhaps but if they weren't trying to steal something other people were working for they'd be ok.

That's what I would say. "I thought I saw a gun"

[KOAM]

Exactly the way it should be.

It's nice to hear HAPPY news for a change!!!

[wigtropolis]

Was this the Christian way to behave?

[HeinousMark]

BTW, were the perps blaecks or messicans?

Shouldn't you get charged for that

[Bro]

Nah. He deserved it.

No Trespassing.

Trespassers will get shot.

Survivors will get shot again.

Yes, he deserved it but shouldn't it be against the law to shoot somebody when they aren't posing a danger to you

Wow. He shot a fleeing assailant and he's not facing any charges? That's some crazy shit y'all got goin' on there in Texas.

The homeowner might be in trouble for shooting at the fleeing suspect in the car and killing him but I imagine things are a bit different in Texas. If that happened in Chicago the homeowner would be sitting in jail right now and all of the black activists(if the perps were black) would be protesting outside the guys home.

Should face 2nd degree murder charges for shooting the fleeing suspect.

So they can come back and pose a danger to you again later, or more likely, go pose a danger to someone else?

You can't kill someone (legally, as in justifiable homicide) based upon perceived, future danger.

The threat has to be imminent.

Would be political suicide for someone in Texas to press the matter.
