HOUSTON - Houston police are investigating a bizarre home invasion that ended with a man's death, officials said.

Police were called to the scene around 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the 13100 block of North Bellaire Estates for a report of a home invasion.

When officials arrived on the scene, they learned that the now-deceased man had broken into the home and was seen by the homeowner entering his daughter's room. Police said the father confronted the man and wrestled to get the man's gun away from him.

The father was able to get the man's gun and shoot him, officials said. After the man was shot, he went downstairs and began stabbing himself, police said.

He was later pronounced dead at an area hospital. An autopsy will reveal which instance ultimately caused the man's death.

Police said four children were home at the time. All were reported safe.

Word of advice:
Have your own gun.
Don’t depend on taking the perp’s gun.

[Lurker]

Sage advice, that.

No matter what, this death is 100% justified. You break in, you threaten us, you die.
No law can take this right away from us, because no law gave it to us.

And to top things off the best news is that no animals were harmed in turning this punk into worm food!

A cry for help: “Stop me before I kill myself again!”

Don’t depend on taking the perp’s gun. ...

Do not depend on burglar stabbing self to death.

Probably a bad drug trip. Good riddance.

"Do not depend on burglar stabbing self to death. "

I would hope that that is just a cover story for him finishing the scumbag off...

Probably a bad drug trip. Good riddance.

Maybe he thought it was a good drug trip at first. But then it turned bad.

Anyway, good riddance.

Just curious.

Did the perp use his own knife or the home owner’s knife?

I would hate for the home owner lose a good kitchen knife just so this waste of flesh could kill himself.

Because, you know, the cops are going to take that knife for evidence and it will never be seen again.

I heard he got stabbed by the homeowner, then shot himself.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Hopefully it was the stab wounds that killed the perp. That way any possible insurance policy will not pay out.

Waddya you bet that if this guy is a Socialist/Democrat he will promptly change his views on “gun control.”

[gundog]

Clear evidence that you don’t need to own a gun to defend yourself. /s

DANG!
Where can I acquire a gun that will get the perp to begin stabbing himself ?!

[Fellow Traveler]

Take a hollow point bullet, put some of the juice from ghost peppers in the cavity and then seal it up with candle wax. That might do the trick.

[A strike]

But, but, but that might violate “cruel and unusual”.

(ooops; that’s a restriction on government)
