Texas: Twin Brothers Arrested In Home Invasion; One Was Shot In The Leg
By Chief Pistol Packin' Mama on June 11, 2010 in Gun TrainingVictor Carroll, 27, was under police guard Thursday at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center recovering from a gunshot wound to the leg while his twin brother Dameon was in the McLennan County Jail facing aggravated robbery charges in connection with an attempted home invasion Wednesday afternoon in Waco.
Police are looking for a third man they identified as Berry Carroll, who they said is the brothers’ cousin.
The arrest stems from the attempted home invasion early Wednesday afternoon at the Parkside Apartments in the 1500 block of North 9th Street where three men burst into an apartment occupied by Marquel Phillips, 30, his girlfriend and two children.
Phillips told officers he heard a knock at the door and when he opened it, three men with T-shirts over their faces confronted him.
Two of the men rushed into the apartment and started to fight with Phillips, police said, but Phillips fought back and was able to take a pistol away from one of the men whom he then shot once in the thigh.
