Texas homeowner shoots person during possible attempted break-in, police say<\/a>
\nFort Worth police said officers responded to a shooting call at approximately 12:05 a.m. on Berke Road.<\/p>\n

FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 One person was shot twice by a Fort Worth homeowner during a possible attempted break-in, police said.<\/p>\n

The Fort Worth Police Department said officers responded at approximately 12:05 a.m. Wednesday to the 4300 block of Berke Road for a shooting call. When officers got to the home, they located a person who had been shot twice. Fort Worth police said Wednesday they believe from their investigation that the person was shot by the homeowner during a possible attempted break-in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just protected our family. Yeah, he did what he had to do,\u201d said Christina, whose husband shot the man. \u201cIt was self-defense, what I’m afraid of is for the guy getting out maybe through bond or something and coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n

That lingering fear is why she asked us not to use her last name as she told us what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this neighborhood, we see a lot of stuff going on but we never thought we were gonna go through something like this,\u201d she said. \u201cSomething so scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

She says it all started just before midnight, she, her husband and three young kids had already gone to bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were already asleep. I started hearing our dogs barking,\u201d she said. \u201cSo I woke up my husband, I’m like, hey, something is going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

They looked out the window and saw a man on their property acting erratically.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe already had tore down some part of the wooden fence,\u201d Christina said. \u201cHe was just going back and forth in the backyard to our driveway.\u201d<\/p>\n

She called 9-1-1 and her husband grabbed his gun.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came to our driveway and with a plank, a wooden plank from our fence, he broke our daughter’s bedroom window,\u201d Christina said.<\/p>\n

Her husband screamed at him to go away.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of him leaving, he came and tried to open the door, our kitchen door. So that’s when my husband had to fire his gun,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth police were there minutes later.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect was taken to the hospital he was shot a couple of times,\u201d said Fort Worth Police public information officer Tracy Carter. \u201cThis guy is lucky to be alive. The homeowner did what any of us would have done, we\u2019d wanna protect our family.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Fort Worth city jail records, Jeremy Black, 35, was booked Wednesday morning on suspicion of burglary of a habitation in connection to the incident.<\/p>\n

Police say Christina\u2019s husband isn\u2019t facing any legal action, but the family is still shaken up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really scary, especially for my children,\u201d Christina said.<\/p>\n
