HOUSTON - Officials say two would-be home invaders in Channelview were killed overnight Saturday and a third remains at large after they were confronted by a teen inside armed with a shotgun.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, three men in masks tried to break into a home in the 16000 block of 1st St. in east Harris County near Channelview First Baptist Church.
Last night in Channelview at the 16000 blk of First Street, three adult males attempted to force entry into a home. The males were armed and wearing masks. The home was occupied by an adult female, 12-yr-old male, and two 17-yr-old males. One of the 17-yr-old male occupants 1/3
retrieved a shotgun and discharged it several times striking two of the suspects. Both males were pronounced deceased at the scene. The 3rd suspect fled in a dark colored, 4-door sedan. There were no other reported injuries. The case will be presented to a grand jury. The 2/3
investigation is on-going and anyone with information is urged to contact the HCSO Homicide Unit at 713-274-9100. #HouNews 3/3
The men were armed and inside the home were a 12-year-old boy and two teenage boys, both 17. One of the 17-year-olds, according to investigators, got a shotgun and fired it several times at the invaders.
Two of them were hit and pronounced dead at the scene by responding officers.
Meanwhile, the third took off in a dark-colored, 4-door sedan, and as of this writing remains at large.
No other injuries were reported, but Sheriff Gonzalez said the case would be presented before a grand jury, as an investigation into the incident remains underway.

Well, come on journalists, what ELSE was dark-colored?
There are occasional burglaries here in Texas but the perps who are still around after pulling off a job probably have reconnoitered their target. This squad probably had no idea of what awaited them ...
There are plenty of progs in the blue cities that hate guns. I’m sure criminals know this. There are targets for them.
You can’t rely on the meaning of words anymore. I get confused by the words teen and adult male.
We haven't heard from BooHoo Girl in a while. She's overdue for an appearance. And here she is...
A soon-to-be-dead idiot, apparently.
Hey bro, dis be an easy lick, nutin but kids inside.
That’s hilarious! I’ve never seen it before. How in the world did I miss that classic?
A teen is a person the media likes. An adult male is one that they haven’t decided on. A suspect or perpetrator is one the media has decided is guilty.
Yes, it’s speculation but it’s Houston so it begs the question, “what illegal activity were the two 17-year-olds involved in?”
Good news story of the day.
Well, if they’re no-goodnicks, perhaps this investigation will reveal it. A two-fer.
This country is littered with demonRats!
If the perps were black, how long g before accusations of racism and riots break out?
I’d like to think they died screaming and soiling themselves. Is that wrong?
This is what happens when you bring a pistol to a shotgun fight.
Channelview has been a high-crime area for at least seven decades.
Two cheers out of a possible three. The person who shot them (his age is irrelevant) did a good deed. One remaining.
This is self defense. This is a right that no government can take away.
