Homeowner Shoots Suspected Burglar in Oak Cliff
18 Apr 2008

An Oak Cliff homeowner told police that he was awakened around 1:30 Friday
morning by the sound of breaking glass.

The man grabbed a handgun and discovered two men inside his home in the 6100
block of Teague Drive, according to police.

One of the men was still holding a board that they had used to break the
window.

Police said the homeowner started shooting and hit one of the suspects in
the upper chest and jaw. That suspect is in critical condition at Baylor
Hospital.

The other burglar ran from the home and has not been found.

The case will be referred to a Grand Jury, but investigators said the
homeowner appeared to be justified in protecting his life and property.

If the Burgular dies, you can bet that the law will try and find something
to charge the homeowner with. Its the American way. Gotta keep those
attorneys working somehow. Plus those attorneys need the funds for when they
get ready to run for office so they can make up new laws to pass that
benifit the attorneys coming after them.
