Texas Self-Defense: Homeowner Wins Gunfight Against Two Armed Robbers, One Shot, Both in Jail :: 03/30/2015
A homeowner in Texas found himself in a gunfight with two armed burglars. The fight ended with one of the suspects shot and both suspects behind bars. The homeowner was not injured.
According to local media reports:
The Garland Police Department reports the incident occurred just after 7 a.m. on Friday, March 27, 2015, when police received a 911 call about gunshots in the 5200 block of Hollow Bend Lane.
“When officers arrived, they were told several men had come inside the home to rob them,” stated Garland Police Department Public Information Officer Joe Harn. “During the attempted robbery, shots were exchanged between the robbers and the homeowner.”
No injuries were reported for the individuals who live in the home but police say one of the burglars had been shot.
This is the 186th defensive gun use we’ve documented in Texas and the 1,403rd defensive gun use we’ve documented overall.
