HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Two people are dead and one is in the hospital after a homeowner fired back during a shooting in North Houston.
Investigators say early Saturday morning a suspect vehicle drove up to the homeowner's house on Glenburnie Drive and started shooting.
The homeowner was outside at the time and he hid behind a bush in the yard and returned fire. Officers say more than 40 shots were fired in the exchange.
The homeowner struck all three men inside of the car. The driver of the car crashed after the shooting hitting a car and then running into a yard. One suspect died at the scene. The other two fled on foot but didn't make it far. They went to the hospital. One of the suspects died at the hospital. The other suspect underwent surgery for his gunshot wounds. Detectives did not have an update on his current condition.
Miraculously, the homeowner was not struck by the gunfire. He was taken to the police station for questions. He has not been charged. Preliminary officers said it appeared to be self-defense.
On Friday, the day before the shooting, officers said arson investigators were called to the same home after someone attempted to set the home on fire. Officers believe the home was targeted based on both of those incidents.

Its Texas, so homeowner is more likely to receive a medal than a criminal charge. 
However, there is something to be said about standing on your property and firing into the street. What if he missed and it struck another home? Or worse yet, a person in their own home! He's lucky (or perhaps just a damn good shot) had he struck a bystander he would absolutely be looking at jail time.

Well that's 2 assholes that the state doesn't have to pay money toward holding and sending to trial.

Sounds like he's experienced since he got all 3 of them.

Hopefully the third one didn't make it either

Someone tried to burn his house down then tried to shoot him?
I'm going to take a wild stab and guess that drugs are involved in this somewhere.

I'm pretty sure Texas has a law on the books that says if someone is injured or killed as a result of you committing a crime (even if indirectly), you get charged for it.
So if the homeowner had accidentally shot a neighbor, it would've been pinned on the thugs.
