At some point, the tenant was able to get up and grab a gun. He then shot and killed the suspect that had been holding him down, police said
Not going to armchair quarterback why he wasn't armed by the time they kicked in the door, Just glad it worked out for the good guy and I hope they catch the other two and charge them for their friends death.
Interesting, but it seems he did all the shooting as they were leaving. Sure legal in TX but where was the threat if they were in fact leaving? As the article stated I am curious why his home was targeted - random or not is my question?
As the suspects were leaving, Brown was able to get up and grab a gun, police said. He then shot and killed the suspect who had been holding him down, police said.
Brown also opened fire on the other two suspects, but they fled in a silver Dodge Charger.
yeah that's interesting that he's not going to get charged with anything even after he was shooting as they were leaving. I can't blame the guy but i don't understand how he wasn't ready while they were kicking the door in. they would have to kick down two doors to get to me and the mrs and after the first one was down they'd have a quite a few surprises once they kicked in the second

PC §9.41. PROTECTION OF ONE'S OWN PROPERTY. (a) A person
in lawful possession of land or tangible, movable property is justified in
using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably
believes the force is immediately necessary to prevent or terminate
the other's trespass on the land or unlawful interference with the
property.
(b) A person unlawfully dispossessed of land or tangible, movable
property by another is justified in using force against the other when
and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately
necessary to reenter the land or recover the property if the actor
uses the force immediately or in fresh pursuit after the dispossession
and:
(1) the actor reasonably believes the other had no claim of right
when he dispossessed the actor; or
(2) the other accomplished the dispossession by using force,
threat, or fraud against the actor.
PC §9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is
justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible,
movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under
Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly
force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary,
robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal
mischief during the nighttime; or (B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing
burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime
from escaping with the property; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by
any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover
the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial
risk of death or serious bodily injury.
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. - John Adams

Being in SA, he might have been a liberal, but at some point during that event had an epiphany and became conservative.
