Yup. The article has changed and therefore I must change my opinion that the home owner will be in trouble. If the two guys were "beating" on the door they didn't deserve to be shot at, but I can certainly understand the home owner's reaction.

Do we have something called Negligent Homicide here in Texas? That's what this sounds like to me.

From the article:

The stabbing victim and a friend went down the street, trying to find help.

According to investigators, they knocked on the door of a nearby home around 2am Sunday, but the homeowner did not know what was happening and fired a gun through the door.

The stabbing victim's friend was shot. He died on the homeowner's doorstep, police said.

Granted the article can be wrong or have left things out, but from this I think the home owner is going to be in trouble. The victim was looking for help, not to break in and probably not making threats. The home owner didn't know what was happening. He didn't know. I would know if someone was threatening me or if they were trying to break in.

We'll see what the Grand Jury says. I think they will charge the home owner.

Okay. Am I missing something? I thought the man that was shot had been stabbed by someone with a knife and went looking for help.

We do not know what happened.

Right, but unlike the musician that this happened to here in Dallas, I'll bet that this guy was not beating on the door making threats. And that home owner didn't intend to actually shoot that guy. He shot high in hopes of shooting over his head to scare him away. It was just unfortunate that the musician was 6'6".

The home owner should be charged. I don't know with what, but he is responsible for that man's death for no justifiable reason.
