Suspected burglar shot dead during Selma home invasion
A suspected burglar was killed Wednesday night in Selma.
Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson said the home invasion happened about 10:45 p.m. at Minter Terrace Apartments on Minter Avenue. The slain suspect’s name has not yet been released.
Jackson said the occupant of the apartment will not be charged, but any co-conspirator of the slain suspect’s could face charges.
“One of the consequences of breaking into somebody’s home or business is that you may be shot and killed,’’ the district attorney said. “That is apparently what happened here.”
“Citizens have a right to use deadly force if someone is breaking into the home,’’ Jackson said.
