SAN MARCOS — Two 16-year-olds were killed, another was seriously wounded and a fourth teen is in police custody following an attempted home invasion early this morning, San Marcos police said Friday.
Police said a resident of the home shot the teens about 2 a.m. in the 900 block of Chestnut Street, near the Texas State University campus. The two dead teens are from Luling, police said.
Police Chief Howard Williams said the three residents of the home were awakened by a commotion shortly before 2 a.m. He said one resident opened a bedroom door to find a suspect pointing a weapon at him from the living room. Williams said the resident, who was armed with a pistol, shot three of the suspects, and that a fourth escaped uninjured.
None of the residents of the home — one a Texas State University student — were injured, he said.
Williams said three of the suspects are 16 years old and a fourth is 17. Their names have not been released.
One 16-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, and another died at Central Texas Medical Center, police said. A third 16-year-old was taken to University Medical Center Brackenridge in Austin with serious injuries, and police are waiting to interview him, Williams said.
The fourth teen fled the scene but returned later and was arrested in connection with the home invasion with charges pending, police said.
At least two of the four teens involved in the early morning San Marcos shooting were students at the Luling Independent School District, officials said.

Sounds like someone has been spending some time at the range.
Another screwed up headline on the part of the MSM and more dead teenagers for the Brady Bunch to count as lying statistics.
Good shooting on the part of the homeowner. Too bad he missed the fourth though I would imagine he’ll get charged for the deaths of the others and never see the light of day.
“He said one resident opened a bedroom door to find a suspect pointing a weapon at him from the living room. Williams said the resident, who was armed with a pistol, shot three of the suspects, and that a fourth escaped uninjured.”
Justifiable homicide.
Don’t call 911, Dial .357!
I notice they’re hiding all those Amish names. or maybe Swedish.........
“I would imagine he’ll get charged for the deaths of the others.....”
Nope.
The home owner (resident) needs more time at the pop-up range to improve his reaction time.
No racial reference in the article...
Sven and Bjorn are pretty rough customers.
If “he” is the homeowner, then no charges. Clean shoot in TX. And he CANNOT be sued (or rather any suit would be instantly dismissed).
If “he” is the other thug, he is looking at three counts of felony murder.
The fourth guy may never have been in a visible line of fire.
Not a lot of bias there, no sirree.
Two teen GANG BANGERS dead, one injured in San Marcos (TX) shooting
There, corrected headline.
I went to the link and got a message that my computer had a virus on it, one of those fake ones that want you to click on them and then they download a trojan to your machine. Did anyone else have that happen?
Maybe not in TX.

According to the police, the teens had one handgun, and “two very realistic pellet guns”. Also says the persons
living in the home were aged 18 -23. Didn’t say if they were students at TSU.
Interesting comments on the kxan site.. the usual, they were good boys, and why didn’t the home’s resident shoot into the air..Also, some comments defending the Castle Doctrine.
Now that’s real control of your gun.
Tommy Ratliff is a busy man at the moment. God Bless you.
