Home Invasion
At about 2:45 on Saturday afternoon, at the Carrington Place Apartments on FM 1960 West, in the 12700 block, a 53-year-old disabled woman resident used a firearm to stop a crew of criminals who were breaking into her home.
One of the intruders was killed. The other two have been arrested and charged with felony murder. From khou.com:
Deputies said the 18-year-old and a 17-year-old male broke a resident's patio door window. The 53-year-old disabled resident was home alone when the teens broke the window and reached inside and unlocked the door, according to investigators.

The second suspect, Aren Lacour, as well as 18-year-old Ayanna Harrison, were detained at the scene. Deputies said Harrison was the driver of a nearby getaway vehicle.
Deputies said the getaway vehicle, a white four-door Mercedes-Benz, is linked to other burglaries in the area.

The perps probably cased the place and concluded she was an easy mark. I guess their plans didn’t include getting shot, killed or locked up for the better part of their lives.
I thought everything was about coronarivus. Having perused the news in various sources over the past few weeks I thought nothing else was going on.
Understood. People often benefit from the /S marker.
The effect is nowhere near the same.
You are correct ... most Texans are familiar with the phrase “... he needed killing/hanging” as it has been applied to miscreants for many, many years.
We are far too easy on today’s ‘miscreants’ these days.
To paraphrase Mike Tyson: Everyone’s got a plan until they get shot in the face.
Yup,
Every One has a Plan,,,
Not so in Texas.
Castle doctrine. Victim was in her home.
You will never hear this on your local network news!!!!
It says right there in the OP that the story WAS reported by the local (Houston) TV station, KHOU, Channel 11.
The Ammoland blog is merely repeating it.
Sheesh.
