Channelview resident opens fire, killing 3 suspects inside his home
Don’t mess with Texas.
Deputies say two men were inside a home when they heard commotion coming from outside. One of the men looked out and saw three suspects dressed in all black trying to break in.
The man exited his room with a shotgun and opened fire on the suspects, shooting three of them.
During an exchange of gunfire with the suspects, the man was also shot. He was transported to the hospital in serious condition.
“I want to just warn people that if it turns out that you’re breaking into somebody’s home, regardless of the circumstances, that eventually you’re gonna end up dead or you’re gonna end up in jail,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
Deputies are at a home in the 1800 block of Amie Michele Ln in Channelview, where 3 males are confirmed dead after an apparent home invasion robbery attempt. A fourth male has been taken to the hospital. PIO is en route and updates will be given from the scene. #HouNews pic.twitter.com/VhSzUipznc
