Officers found a large amount of marijuana inside the family's home, police said, though they did not say whether it was a possible motive in the attempted break-in.

A nice home was broken into in a nice area on the outskirts of NW Houston last week. Three Mexicans forced a mother and daughter into a closet while they ransacked the place. I looked it up and the residents are Hispanic. Cops said there’s evidence the intruders knew the homeowner. I’m thinking some drug theft or money owed.

Sonny, you’ve been shot. Mom’ll put a band-aid on it, now go to school. Mom will hold down the fort until boyfriend comes home.

I think maybe Sonny didn’t want to go home any more.
