Texas Self-Defense: Homeowner restrains burglar caught breaking into his home :: 05/17/2020
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (WOAI) – A San Antonio homeowner defended his home last night when a burglar forced the door open and broke inside the home.
Police responded to reports of a shooting in progress early Saturday morning at around 1:15 a.m. at the 300 block of Kate Schenck Avenue on the Southeast side of San Antonio.
When officers arrived they found the homeowner holding down the would-be burglar. Police said the occupants of the house were sound asleep when they heard someone breaking into their front door. The homeowner said he grabbed his gun and confronted the person breaking into his home. The gun went off during their scuffle, but nobody was shot.
The alleged burglar was taken into custody and the homeowner, who was injured during their struggle, was taken to the hospital with deep lacerations on his head.
Police said that multiple charges will be filed against the suspect.
This is an ongoing investigation.
