Texas Homeowner Defends Property with Handgun Shots
Early Thursday morning, a Texas homeowner in San Antonio faced a harrowing situation when he believed his home was being burglarized. According to police reports, they received a call about a potential burglary in progress at a residence on Hicks Avenue around 5 a.m.
Upon arrival, officers spoke with the 43-year-old homeowner, who informed them that he had fired his handgun at an intruder. However, no victim was found at the scene initially.
Further investigation led authorities to a detached garage on Vanderbilt Street, where they discovered a 48-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds.
The injured man was transported to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. He was subsequently placed into custody under suspicion of burglary.
Neighbors in the vicinity shared their experiences and concerns with KENS-TV. They reported hearing four muffled gunshots during the early hours of the morning.
Rafael Olivares, who was working nearby, described the scene, noting the significant police presence.
“You have to be safe nowadays,” he remarked.
“Especially since there’s a lot of crazies nowadays. Just make sure you lock your doors. If you have valuable stuff, just make sure y’all put them inside during the nighttime.”
Despite some residents echoing Olivares’ sentiments about safety, others expressed frustration over the frequency of shootings in their neighborhood. There were even suggestions that the homeowner might have known the suspect prior to the incident.
San Antonio police clarified that the homeowner was not facing charges at the moment, as Texas state law permits individuals to defend their property. However, they emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing.

The police are overwhelmed and can’t respond quickly enough. If the democrats would stop importing murders, gangs and rapists it would make the police work so much more effective. Kamella Harris said she would shoot a burglar, why can’t I???
