The 15-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter of a county deputy were home alone in Harris County, Texas, when two burglars broke into the house. The young man retrieved a rifle, located the two intruders in the living room and fired at them. One intruder was struck by the gunfire and both fled the house. Police located the pair of criminals a short time later when they arrived at a local hospital. Police were supportive of the young man’s actions, with Lt. Jeff Stauber of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office stating, “He was concerned with protecting his younger sister – that’s exactly what he did.” Neighbor Ushantha Kawmini, whose home had recently been burglarized, also showed support, remarking, “There have been a lot of robberies. It’s good they caught them.”
