TX:Armed Homeowner holds Thief for Police

Nice to see proactive homeowners.  Texas law allows for more liberal use of force than many other states. 

On Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 p.m., a homeowner caught a burglar red-handed and confronted him with a gun, according to Houston police.  HPD Sgt. S.F. Red said the homeowner saw the thief walking out of his yard on Priest Street in northeast Houston, carrying the homeowner's window air conditioning unit.  The homeowner, who does not wish to be identified, pulled out his gun and shot at the apparent burglar, police said.
