Man Fatally Shoots Girlfriend's Ex-Husband [During a home invasion]

In the Hill Country, a man is dead after an alleged domestic dispute and apparent break in.

Thirty-three-year-old Brandon Joseph Steele died Monday after being shot at a duplex on Granite Shoals Street. Authorities believe that he broke into his ex-wife's house through a bedroom window.

The woman, her boyfriend and a 5-year-old child were in that room. Steele allegedly threatened them.

The boyfriend told police that's when he shot Steele. The ex-wife claims he had come to the house earlier, intoxicated and belligerent.

"This is a situation which has all indications of being a self defense issue. Unfortunately, there was a life taken in this event, so we have to proceed with it as if it is a homicide," Chief Bill Lane of Horseshoe Bay said.

Autopsy results are pending.

Police have made no arrests."

Am I the only one that smells something WRONG with this bull statement ?
This sounds like typical liberal news media garbage !!!!!!!

Sounds normal to me. Until they get a no-bill from the grand jury, they will proceed as if it's a homicide. That way, if there IS an indictment handed down, they have already done their homework.

That, and he is just covering his backside. :)

It is a homocide. But homocide isn't necessarily a crime. No arrests have been made, and I wouldn't expect any.
