In Dcember 2007, a Houston homeowner was awakened by a loud noise. Suspecting foul play, he sent his wife and young children to shelter and retrieved his handgun. Upon entering his bedroom, he spied a suspect crawling through the window and fired several shots. The suspect, whom other reports indicate was a repeat offender with multiple felonies, died at the scene. The case was referred to a Texas grand jury, who has just cleared the homeowner of wrongdoing.
