Suspected car burglar dies after shootout in west Houston<\/a><\/p>\n

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A deadly shootout erupted after a man confronted two suspected car burglars outside his home in west Houston overnight.<\/p>\n

The Houston Police Department said the shooting happened at about 3:30 a.m. on Saturday at a home on Woodway near Fondren.<\/p>\n

Investigators said a 60-year-old man saw two men trying to break into his fence through surveillance cameras.<\/p>\n

The homeowner reportedly approached the suspects to tell them to leave. That’s when at least one suspect pulled out a weapon and started shooting, according to police.<\/p>\n

The homeowner, also armed with a gun, fired back several times, police said.<\/p>\n

Police say the 60-year-old was shot in the leg, and one of the suspects was shot multiple times.<\/p>\n

The injured suspect ran back through the fence and stopped at a stairwell. First responders were called to the scene, and the suspect was taken to the hospital, where he died, officials said.<\/p>\n

The second suspect’s location is unknown at this time.<\/p>\n

“The other suspect he must have left with a gun because we can’t find the other weapon. And he did leave on foot. We have a decent video we’re working with,” Lt. R. Willkens said.<\/p>\n

Police said there have been several thefts and car break-ins in the area, so neighbors are on high alert.<\/p>\n

Police around the city responded to at least seven shootings in 12 hours overnight, and three were deadly.<\/p>\n

The homeowner is at the hospital and cooperating. Police haven’t disclosed if anyone will be facing charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
