Texas: Teen shoots would-be burglary suspect
By Chief Pistol Packin' Mama on June 30, 2010 in Gun TrainingTwo would-be burglars are in police custody thanks to the quick actions of a 15-year-old.
One suspect is in jail, and the other is at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Investigators say they aren’t sure whether the injured suspect is going to make it. He was shot in both his legs and face by a 15-year-old who detectives say feared for his and his sister’s safety.
ABC13 arrived in northwest Harris County in time to see the second time the juvenile burglary suspect left a home on Royal Place Court. The first time, deputies believe, he was with a bleeding accomplice who was shot three times by a 15-year-old boy.
“All he said was, ‘Anybody seriously hurt?’ and he said, ‘Oh yeah, definitely,’” neighbor Renee Thompson said.
The blood on the driveway tells a burglary-gone-bad story.
Deputies say that around 2:30pm, the suspects broke into the home through a back window.
