Police: Armed intruder killed at apartment

An armed intruder was killed Friday night in a possible case of self-defense, Houston police said.

The man forced his way inside a unit in the 12900 block of Whittington around 9:20 p.m. and showed a pistol to those inside, Police Department spokesman John Cannon said.

“He specifically aimed the pistol toward two people when a third person in the apartment retrieved a pistol of his own,” Cannon said.

The third person said he shot the intruder because he feared for the safety of everyone in the west Houston apartment, police said. The intruder died at the scene.

1. Houston AGAIN.

At this rate they are going to exceed the bag limit.

3. Houston isn't Houston anymore.

Good for the responsible, law abiding gun owner in the story. He done good.

5. I wonder why some make them so irate and others don't bother them.

My guess is the race of the intruders.
