Woman Shoots Robber, Husband During Home Invasion
March 27, 2008
HOUSTON -- A woman shot and killed an intruder and accidentally wounded her
husband in a northeast Harris County home invasion, investigators told KPRC
Local 2 Thursday.
According to deputies, a couple found themselves staring down the barrel of
a gun in their apartment in the Northshore Meadows complex in the 300 block
of Audrey Lane shortly before midnight.
A man had just broken into their apartment and was making demands.
According to investigators, he wanted cash and drugs, and made the couple
remove all their clothing.
Then, gunshots rang out. However, the would-be robber wasn't the one
squeezing the trigger, officials said.
"The husband got into a physical altercation with the suspect," Harris
County Deputy A.J. Kelly said. "The wife was able to retrieve a handgun that
they had up in the room and she fired shots, striking and killing the
suspect."
The husband was also shot. Deputies said he was hit in the arm. They believe
he may have been hit by friendly fire from his wife.
The couple told investigators that they did not know the man or why they
were the targets of a home invasion.
"Seems like, at this point, they did what they had to do," Kelly said. "They
were in fear that this individual who broke into their house was going to
harm them."
Deputies said they believe the intruder may not have been alone.
"We have a female detained that was in the parking lot at the time of the
incident and we're questioning her know," Kelly said. "She's definitely a
person of interest. We think she was with him."
According to Kelly, the woman was downstairs in the parking lot waiting in
what appeared to be the getaway car.
Investigators said that the husband suffered from an exit wound to the arm.
He was taken to the hospital and is expected to recover.
