Two Texas men were fatally shot by a teenager armed with a shotgun during an attempted home invasion, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
The deadly incident occurred on Friday night just after 10:30 pm on 1st Street in the Channelview area, east of Houston, reported KHOU11.
Gonzalez said three masked men tried to force their way into a home, occupied by an adult woman and three minors, when one 17-year-old opened fire on the assailants. Two of the men reportedly were pronounced dead at the scene, and the third escaped in a dark-colored 4-door sedan.

The case will now be presented to a grand jury, as homicide units with the sheriff’s office investigate the situation.
Great to hear!!!
2 more demons removed from our midsts .
If they were black or democrats, the kid will be charged with a Double Murder!
good… I pray for the kid defending his family and may the law decline pressing charges.
I seriously doubt that any charges will be filed. Although now days it’s not that clear what they will try to charge him with. The country has gone totally off the rails with justice. You know the assailants families will be crying that there was no need for deadly force. That is why crime is on such a rise in the country.
