A pair of early morning shootings sent two Guadalupe County men to area hospitals with bullet wounds to the abdomen Friday.
"We were pretty busy in the early morning today," said Guadalupe County Sheriff's Department spokesman Kevin Jordan. "It's pretty unusual for us to have two shootings in one night."
In the first incident, a woman on the 100 block of Baker Creek Loop in northwestern Guadalupe County answered the door to a man she recognized as an acquaintance of her son at about 12:30 a.m., Jordan said.
He said the man put a knife to the woman's neck and sexually assaulted her.
The woman fled to a neighboring house. The couple living there let her in, but her nude assailant followed her and started breaking out glass door panels with his knife, Jordan said.
As the assailant reached through the broken glass to unlock the door, the male resident of the house shot him with a rifle. The 9 mm bullet went through the assailant's hand and into his abdomen.
Sheriff's deputies found him lying in the front yard, a knife in his hand, Jordan said. He is in stable condition at Brackenridge Hospital in Austin.
Jordan said the department expects to charge the man with aggravated sexual assault and burglary of a habitation.
Less than two hours later, deputies were called to the 100 block of Valley Meadows in the Cibolo area for a report of a second shooting, Jordan said.
He said a boyfriend and girlfriend were arguing and both went for a handgun kept in a bedroom nightstand. As they struggled for the gun, it went off and hit the boyfriend in the abdomen.
The man is in stable condition at Brooks Army Medical Center. Jordan said the investigation is continuing and it was unclear if any charges would be filed.
Except for the caliber it was a fine shooting.
A naked man with a knife breaking out your windows and trying to unlock the door... and only one shot? I would have emptied a clip into him!
If you each have your own, there are no arguments:')
Exactly.
I have always said that this would be a better country if everyone just kept a Desert Eagle in their dresser drawer.
The first guy sounds like he was on drugs and got lest than he deserved.
Need more info on the couple. Guns arent for ending arguments.
It said a 9mm rifle, never heard of one before but that would be large for a rifle.
They should get him for indecent exposure as well;) Good shooting!

Media swine usually can't tell which end of the tube the round comes out of. :)
There are several carbines that use 9mm pistol ammunition. Marlin made one, don't know if they still do.
A media pig would call it a "rifle".
The 2nd Amendment has always been my favorite, as it ensures/insures the others!

Too bad he didn't put this puke out of his misery. Likely he will get a few years in the can and then be freed to do it again!
A quick google shows uzi makes one, wonder if it uses handgun ammo?
"The British Bobbie five tap!"
LOL! I like that!
Yeah, it's a sub machine gun. .....and it indeed uses 9mm (handgun) ammo.
The Beretta Storm
Then there is the very inexpensive Hipoint 9mm carbine
