An allegedly drunk home invader was shot earlier this month by a San Antonio homeowner.
The intruder, who has yet to be identified, may have tried to force his way into a home in north-side San Antonio. According to reports from KENS5, the intruder mistakenly thought the house was his own.
When talking to police KENS5 learned that the door was possibly locked when the intruder arrived. The intruder attempted to enter despite that and was told by the homeowner to leave.
Drunk Intruders Can’t Be Reasoned With
KENS5 quotes a representative of the San Antonio Police Dept., “My understanding is the homeowner gave him repeated commands to stop (and) get away, and the guy kept approaching him.”
The homeowner did eventually fire a gun at the intruder around 4 p.m. that day. Several shots were fired. The drunk intruder was hit in the foot, but police say he will likely recover.
KENS5 reported on the scene while police were still there. Police are still actively investigating the details to determine exactly what occurred that day.
KENS5 also asked police if either individual would receive charges. No announcement has been made, but police indicated that the drunk invader would likely receive charges for burglary.

It is well-known that intoxicated people are generally hard to reason with. This homeowner was faced with a situation where he could not do anything to get the drunk intruder to leave.
Do you think the homeowner acted in self-defense?

I hope the word gets out if you break into someone’s home or attempt to rob someone you could be killed before your set free by the courts.
Terrible shooting by the homeowner, needs to go to the range and gets some training before he hurst himself.
“The homeowner did eventually fire a gun at the intruder around 4 p.m. that day. Several shots were fired. The drunk intruder was hit in the foot, but police say he will likely recover.”
If I were the “homeowner,” I doubt I would “likely recover.” I would eventually succumb to embarrasment for that string of shooting.
