A Texas man was arrested and charged with a third-degree felony for allegedly shooting at two men who were attacking his fiancée outside their home.
Jeremiah Morin, 34, of Spring, is being accused of firing at the men “indiscriminately,” the Houston Chronicle reported Friday. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said the two men were still at large.
Morin’s fiancée was taking her children inside the home when two men in ski masks attacked her, deputies said.

“It is illegal for foreigners to possess firearm”
My wife is a foreigner, Italian, legal immigrant. She has a carry permit in Arizona and Texas. She legally owns multiple firearms.
A crowded street in Texas, where a man has a woman in a headlock and he and his pard are dragging her and her kid off, and none of those witnesses/bystanders tries to help the woman and kid?
Not in the corner of Texas where I lived and worked for the better part of a decade.
That is what the police say, the forensic evidence and eyewitness testimony are matters for a trial.
This is why I have Texas Law Shield. If you fire your weapon their lawyers come to your defense, they post bail, counsel you and help you wade through the system. I can understand why he was charged. A good lawyer will put his situation in the best light for judge or jury.
If he really endangered bystanders, lucking out by not hitting and wounding one or more, tried to shoot the two attempted kidnappers in the back and repeatedly missed, and then threatened and intimidated the witnesses, it sounds like they could have charged him with impersonating a Texas cop.
God bless you, and God bless Texas.
These guys should be chased down and killed. He would have been doing society a favor. The idea, they can’t be chased down and killed is crazy. They are criminals.
You are, but I need to read better also :)
Well, it was not too long ago that it would have been illogical to not assume the word “wife” would be correct in this situation, so your brain was making a valid connection.
No financial interest here, just a member for many years.
“firing ‘indiscriminately’ “...........
This tells me that one should NEVER fire at a fleeing criminal. Assuming the shots miss the intended target, each miss could then be considered “indiscriminate” and the shooter would be subject to arrest. What about when a cop fires his weapon at a fleeing subject and misses, is he/she also firing indiscriminately?
LOL, I got that the same way. We are going to have 2-3 hanged Freepers!
My old fashioned brain can hardly compute this insane world anymore.
And I’m not even that old at 40.
Very likely not the corner of Texas you’re familiar with.
I’d take a careful look at the situation before getting involved myself. The last thing I want to do is orphan my kids by getting between gangbangers settling a score.
Impossible to tell from the article exactly what happened. But if someone has your fiance in a headlock and your kids are also around, are you really going to open fire on the situation? This guy wasn’t in a sniper’s perch aiming at a still target.
He was arrested because he continued to fire even after the attackers had begun to flee.
The gooks used that ploy also. Run, hide, ambush later. Nope. And I value my family much more than I do a gook.
Sat cong.
Then, you young’uns can have pity on us oldsters.
are definitely indefensible under Texas law — as I understand it.
I wonder if Governor Bowie ever shot a mex trying to run away. Hope so.
I might apologize if I've guessed wrong...
No blood trail means no one was hit........no crime in my opinion except maybe shooting a firearm in an area where firearms aren’t allowed to be fired...........
Dumbest PC stupid LE policy in existence.
NOT chasing and firing at them is baffling.
Thugs demonstrably able and willing to use deadly force being shot in the back while fleeing is the most rational policy in all cases.
Sure, they may no longer be a threat to you and your family, but allowing them to live or remain free simply exposes another family or random victims a few blocks away or even across town to be seriously or fatally injured instead.
How is that any kind of a rational policy?
Kill 'em ded and incrementally improve the safety of the neighborhood.
