Per HPD:
"A preliminary investigation revealed the residents were asleep in their bed when they were awakened by a loud noise. While investigating the cause of the noise, they noticed their backyard gate was opened and saw a male (suspect) in their back yard," police said in a statement released on Monday.


"The suspect then forced his way and gained entry into the residence. The residents, in fear for their lives, discharged their firearms several times, striking the suspect," the statement read.
Couple called 911. Suspect died on scene.

As usual cops said will be presented to grand jury, have seen no news accounts about that, but I suspect they did not have anything to worry about.
In Texas it is black letter law that it has to be presented to a grand jury by the DA.
He/She doesn't have a choice.
That last part : In Texas it is black letter law that it has to be presented to a grand jury by the DA.
He/She doesn't have a choice.... that's the bad part seams like common sense would come into play on certain circumstances where they could just not charge them? But then again what do I know, guess that Ltc insurance is looking better everyday. I'm sure just for a attorney to take the case your looking at Probably 50k to get started but no one wants a Appointed attorney on a murder charge or any charge for that matter.
