Leave it to Texas to be awesome.

The men, both in their mid-20s, kicked open the door at a house in the 100 block of Horace Street around 11:30 p.m. and entered, said San Antonio Police Sgt. John Slaughter. A resident in the home fired several rounds at the intruders with a handgun.

One of the intruders, who was armed, collapsed on the sidewalk outside the house, where he was pronounced dead. The other intruder was critically injured and transported to University Hospital.

The homeowner was unharmed, Slaughter said.

“I don’t think (the deceased person) even had a chance to fire (his weapon),” he said.

Police are investigating whether the attempted home invasion was a robbery or if the intruders had another motive.

Relatives and neighbors of the said break-ins and vehicle robberies were common in the block.

The shootings happened two days after a West Side homeowner shot and injured a 15-year-old boy as the teen and his father attempted to break into a residence. The 33-year-old homeowner was not charged in Monday's shooting.

I have argued with my wife and her side of the family over The Way Of The Gun. They claim a bat or heavy leveler (no shit. They claim they use that for defense) is good enough. Maybe. But I trust a firearm more.
