Police: Homeowner shoots, kills intruder

A homeowner shot and killed an intruder Tuesday night who broke in while his family was home.

It happened around 8 p.m. in the 6700 block of Dusty Dawn at Coral Stone.

Harris County deputies said there may have been more than one suspect who was trying to burglarize the home, but the others got away.

Apparently the homeowner and the suspect exchanged gunfire inside the home, where his wife and two small children were. The youngest child is 1 year old.

Deputies said the homeowner would not be charged, as the shooting was justified.

The SPCA was called to help deputies because there were four pit bulls in the backyard. The SPCA controlled them as officers were on the scene.
