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.

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

You can’t allegedly break into a home.

Think of all the homes that will not be broken into in the future because of this.

You can’t allegedly break into a home.

In only takes a little imagination. The side alleged to have "broken in" says they were invited.

They claim the door was already broken when they got there.

Allegedly is often a conflict of accounts, but it is used as legal cover in a great many cases (legal protection for the writer).

snip --

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

If the latter is true, how can the former be in question...unless the intruders were making pow pow noises while pointing with their finger guns.

Sounds like Channel View got an early Christmas present: 3 thugs that are now no more.

Yes, but it sure feels good to know that three more of Udumbo's sons have met their maker.

“Look the door is broken. Let’s go in and steal stuff.” Nothing spells no trespassing like a pump shotgun and #4 buckshot up close and personal.
