A Texas resident grabbed his shotgun and shot and killed three men when they allegedly broke into his home, authorities said.

Early Monday morning, one of the two residents of a trailer home in Channelview -- about 20 miles east of Houston -- heard a "commotion" outside, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. He then saw several men in dark clothing -- possibly one armed -- force their way inside, the sheriff said at a news conference.

That resident ran to hide, while his roommate, armed with a shotgun, exchanged gunfire with the suspects, Gonzalez said.

The armed resident shot and killed three suspected home invaders, Gonzalez said.

Death wish. You have to be really dumb to break into a Texas trailer.

Sounds like a tough day at the office.

Should have thought of a different line of work.

Funny how they report on the inhabitant as having shot and killed them, but somehow didn’t have the drive to say “Allegedly” about that.

REALLY?!?

NONE of you are questioning why THREE men would break into a TRAILER?!

Because trailers are known as the homes of the elites :)

This was a drug issue, likely involving crystal meth and cash.

I dont think the shooter was an asset to the community :)

But at least three criminals are dead.

In Texas, anyone skulking around on someone else’s property after dark is presumed to be armed.

I’d be curious to know his round count. Three assailants is a handful.

There’s usually more to these stories like somebody is selling drugs.

Home invaders who want good stuff don't break into trailers. Unless, as you mentioned, there was a good amount of drugs inside, or, if someone owes somebody some drug money.

Three kills with one shotgun. Has a decent gun and he's used it before.

I think the author was trying to say that that was what the first resident thought he saw rather than giving an after the fact summary. A decent journalist would have written it this way ...

"He then saw several men in dark clothing and thought that one was possibly armed."
