A 21-year-old Texas man is being credited with protecting his family when he retreated into his family’s bedroom, retrieved a gun and fatally shot one of three intruders who forcefully entered his home, KHOU.com reported.
The family was reportedly baking a cake Thursday night in Harris County when the men knocked on the front door and pushed the father to the ground. KHOU reported that the man thought that the men were friends of his son.
The men lunged for the mother, the report said. At that point the 21-year-old, who was not identified, got his father’s gun and opened fire, killing one of the intruders.
"I just heard a couple of times: boom, boom, boom," the father, told the station. "One young life is lost."
Police later spotted a vehicle with two men who matched the suspects' descriptions and took them in for questioning, the station reported. No charges are expected to be filed against the son.
