Gotta be the feel-good story of the day



quote:

A 17-year-old was at a Channelview, Texas, residence when three armed men wearing masks forced their way into the home. The teen subsequently grabbed a shotgun and shot at the men, hitting and killing two of them, authorities said Saturday.

Another 17-year-old, a 12-year old and an adult woman were also in the home during the Friday night incident, said Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

The two men were declared dead at the scene, and the third man fled in what authorities described as a dark-colored, four-door sedan. No one else was injured, police said.

Gonzalez said the case will be presented to a grand jury.

The third guy can be charged with murder. He committed a felony resulting in death.

The article gives a description of the getaway vehicle but not the escaped perp

The young man defended his family, and did great. He must be congratulated, but also his family must show him love and support. Why? Never underestimate how much killing someone can affect a person, even when that person is in the right.
If you don't believe me, read some autobiographies of some of the greatest war heroes of our time.

Although it is great that he was able to defend himself and his property, having to kill someone and having to deal with having killed another human is probably not easy to live with. I hope the kid is doing well.

I obviously don’t know how my mind would work in that situation, but I think I would sleep better than normal knowing I took some trash out while saving my family.

Imagine how he would have felt if the cretins had raped and murdered his family

But did the 3rd guy get caught yet? If it’s about felony murder charge for 3rd suspect It seems like an odd statement to make without an arrest of the 3rd suspect.

Maybe DA pushes all self defense killings by guns to grand jury to review. If it is about self defense aspect and since it’s Harris County I wonder what is norm for DAs across the state in similar situations.

A short barrel shotgun with 00 or #1 buckshot is the best overall firearm you can have for home defense. Make sure you practice as with any firearm.

Yea, the people who who say it's a feel good story, blah blah blah, are really naive to the effect this can have on anyone, much less a kid.

Certainly can still appreciate the kid protecting his himself and his family but I'm fairly sure that it would be better for him if this just never happened.

If he hasn’t been caught, then how do they present this to a grand jury without a defendant?
