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.

What kind of idiot would try to commit burglary in Texas?
The one whose pic is beside the word IDIOT in the dictionary. Don’t mess with Texas......and don’t mess with Texans!
I’m scratching my head trying to think of what you’re referring to...?
I mean I know the blood stains that must be cleaned up will definitely be dark.
Maybe their masks?
Maybe their dark guns?
I am just not smart enough to be an investigator.
And definitely not smart enough to be a journalist. Those guys never make mistakes.

Wink, wink; their socks and the bible's they were carrying. You know, for late nite-bible studying.
I think if they check out the bibles, they were probably opened to the section that says something about: Thou shall not steal.
For the record, I love stories with happy endings.
2 out of 3, good shooting!
Journalists are so liberal they won’t use the term dark-colored they use the term non-pale.
The late wife was a licensed hair-dresser, that's how I know about such stuff.
When she would ask me "Do you think I should cut my split-ends?"
I'd use my world famous answer, "I don't know, do you think their that bad?" Saved my a$$ on more than one occasion.
Men, be carful when asked this question, It's like when a women asks: does this dress make me look fat. To which, no dear it makes you look like your styling and profiling. Again, Saved my a$$ on more than one occasion.
DARN-—Texas teen could use a repeat of Kyle’s Kenosha Hat Trick.
>>Yes, it’s speculation but it’s Houston so it begs the question, “what illegal activity were the two 17-year-olds involved in?”<<
Well, Channelview isn’t really Houston. The county surrounding Houston is still pretty conservative. Harris county is unfortunately dominated by Phewston...
Raised on shotgun comes to mind.
Having to use “alleged” and “suspect” is total BS.
If home invaders are in someone’s home against the wishes of the resident then they ARE home invaders. Not suspected. Otherwise they would be outside.
LOL
An idiot who isn't from Texas.
Baptized in buckshot.
“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.”
Hoping to charge the kid with murder?
Excellent news...
Is that wrong?
To somebody, somewhere, it is. What isn't these days.
MS-13
But wait, didn’t the Governor of New York say that things like this don’t happen? Or something along those?
Cue Meatloaf: (RIP Meat) “2 out of 3 ain’t bad”
