nvestigators say a woman near Katy turned the tables on a pair of intruders. She shot and killed one of them before a second man got away.
It happened around 11:30 Monday morning along Fort Bowie Court in the Sundown subdivision.
This is really a very safe neighborhood, said neighbor Teresa Roberts.
She and others watched investigators work a scene they never expected in the middle of the day.

Always great to know when the potential murderers, rapists, kidnappers, burglars don’t get a chance to hurt people.

This is really a very safe neighborhood...
...because the residents are armed!

What’s all the emphasis on age in these reports? Did the “victim” win in the end? That’s what matters. Or is it a qualifier in determining the equalizer.

Don’t mess with Texas. Note it was an armed intruder.

The other suspect got away by jumping a fence. It's not clear if he was wounded. Deputies are searching the neighborhood for him. The victim said he appeared to be around 20 years old, was wearing dark clothing and his red underwear was showing. Could this possibly be some sort of clue?

Thanks to our elected of both parties who have refused to enforce the borders and laws, there are no safe neighborhoods anymore.

To be fair, the reporter
did cover his race to get out of the lady's home, across her yard, and over her fence.

...because the residents are armed! Exactly. A burglar has to be either very, very stupid or suicidal to enter a house in an armed neighborhood. It would be like that legendary moron who tried to rob a gun store with a marked police car in the parking lot. As the story goes, he was dead before he hit the floor.

Investigators are trying to determine if this was a crime of opportunity, or if the two men targeted this house specifically.
Other neighbors tell us she did the right thing.
“It’s just, you know what, in the state of Texas, if you’re gonna get on somebody’s property, you’re gonna get shot,” neighbor Catherine Hanks said. “That’s just the way we are, that’s Texas.”

A “really very safe neighborhood.” where all the housewives are armed and capable. Wonder why? Doesn’t sound too safe to me.

Yep - it’s even safer now than it was prior to this lady putting a bad guy in the ground.
