In Houston, Texas, a 14-year-old boy who was alone at home grabbed a gun when he spotted an alleged robber at his front door wearing gloves and a backpack around 7:00 a.m. on Thursday.
With his parents gone, the teenager retrieved a handgun and fired five or six shots at the man, ultimately causing his demise.
The authorities received three prior calls in the neighborhood about an individual attempting to gain entry into homes while soliciting money.
A witness, Araceli Herrera, observed the entire sequence of events, including the boy opening the door and firing the shots, leading to the alleged robber's collapse.
The 14-year-old's mother returned home shortly after the incident, and the boy handed her the handgun.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said, “We’re still trying to confirm if [the deceased man] had opened the door, or unlocked the door, or [was] just pulling back and forth on the doorknob.”

This is the exact reason I've taught both my boys starting at age five how to safely shoot firearms. Same ways my Grandfather and father taught me when I was young.

[@jlbrpt]

I wish we had a lot more sensible, wise, caring parents like you in this world. My dad waited until I was about 8 to let me shoot, but he took me with him before that when he did his target practice. I'm forever grateful for his instruction. I was home alone as a teenager and a guy who'd been casing the neighborhood for 2 hours pulled into our driveway and raised the hood on his car like he was having car trouble. He came to the door, so I got dad's .308 rifle and chose a prone shooting position in the hallway. I wonder to this day if that guy had a guardian angel who told him to leave even though no one answered the door when he rang the doorbell...because he was 6 feet away from being 6 feet under. I had already made the "if entry is made, then fire all 5 rounds" decision and was perfectly calm. The adrenaline hit after he left.

[@johnrexrode7746]

@jlbrpt Sorry you had to go through that type of situation. I feel that teaching awareness along with accountability is key to being responsible.

[@jlbrpt]

@@johnrexrode7746 it's all good...I am actually grateful for that experience. It made my a stronger person mentally. It showed me that in a real situation, I would remain calm and keep my wits about me to take decisive action, to defend myself and/or my loved ones. I don't think I would have struggled too much with the outcome either. I knew it was either him or me, and I chose not to be a victim. While I have compassion for other human beings, there would have been no guilt knowing that they forced my hand by the threat they posed and they alone are responsible for the outcome. Any other emotion would not be my burden to carry. I won't get emotional or sad about stopping a deadly threat. I've been in an actual shooting situation as an adult and I credit that first experience for preparing my mind and body to react appropriately and maintain a healthy, positive mental attitude.

I'm waiting to hear about the homeless guy's criminal history and recent run-ins with the law. It's possible he shouldn't have been on the streets in the first place.

[@ShawnLuke]

If I heard some of the clips correctly, he uses the "if it even prevents 1 death it's worth it" mentality. We have that same concept in the justice system "better 10 guilty people go free than 1 innocent person get imprisoned." We all know that doesn't happen. The red flag laws will get skewed to disarm as many citizens as possible.

In Las Cruces, NM, about a week ago, a police officer answered a call regarding a homeless man who was trespassing. The homeless man drew a huge kitchen knife, killed the officer and then charged a bystander. The bystander drew a firearm, gave a verbal warning and when the homeless man charged, the bystander shot the homeless man dead. The homeless man had a history of mental illness and violence.

The Officer is understanding, we can't be victimizing victims for protecting themselves. How many people have already been victimized by the same criminal. He won't have a chance to victimize anyone else. A lot of people cry for the criminals until something happens to them, then they worder where the cops are.

The solution is simple. Assign one police officer for each citizen.

[@rondodson5736]

@@ericschneider8524 The actuality is a law enforcement officer is assigned to patrol an assigned area. The assigned area is usually an area of five square miles, so they just can't always be needed, but they do the best they can. Takes courage to put on the uniform and do what they do.

[@warrensteel9954]

Probably because the officers had multiple calls about the suspect before this happened and didn't respond in time. It would be interesting to know if anyone was dispatched to those calls before the suspect was shot.

[@katieshantz3517]

My dad started taking me shooting at 5 and got me my first rifle at 8. He grew up on a farm running around with a rifle shooting woodchucks and pigeons by the age of 8. I always knew were the guns in the house were if he wasn't home and someone broke in. Thanks to my dad teaching me about the destructive power of a gun, I knew to treat guns with the respect they need. I feel like the lack of firearms training is part of the reason we have all these young folks playing with them like toys. My grandma and dad were both apart of the shooting clubs when they used to offer it in schools.

I was literally telling someone last night that if there was a solid guarantee that a home intruder would just steal my stuff and leave, I wouldn't care. My stuff is insured and the valuable stuff is just electronics and computers that the insurance payout would upgrade. But there's no such guarantee. At best I can sus out whether it's a dumb kid or confused homeless guy and maybe scare them off first. But anyone else I have to assume they're there to harm me personally.

[@bricken10]

if they were just after my tv or w/e, I don't disagree, but I personally have many things that cant be replaced regardless of how much my insurance would pay. and as you said, there's no way to know what their intent is.... even if its just a dumb kid, there have been home invasions for gang initiations and whatnot by 14-17 year old's that leave entire families dead

No minimum age to carry? Learn your laws man. You have to be 19 to conceal carry a handgun in the state of Missouri. 18 if in the military.

There's no minimum age in the entire country.
