"At the time, she again told him to leave and that she was armed," said Sgt. Dan Zientek, with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

After several verbal warnings, she pulled the trigger.

"She fired twice through the door, striking the person," Sgt. Zientek said.

The original article doesn't say if she was calling 911 or not, but if verbal warning were loud enough to hear, he must have been pretty drunk.

The thing to remember hear is that it really doesn't matter what the guy's intentions were. If you try to enter someone else's home after dark, you might get shot. Doing stupid stuff has consequences whether you are drunk or not.

Chas.

Agreed. I am thankful of the I made it through my earlier years also.

I can't blame the woman. I don't like shooting through the door, but it would be hard standing there while someone is beating the door down. I agree with ELB.

Even if the homes were identical, he went through a gate and should have seen other stuff that told him it wasn't the right house. I don't think I have ever been that drunk.

This also isn't the first time this has happened. I think there have been at least two other incidents in the last ten years in Houston. Neither homeowner was charged.
