Hopefully the homeowner isn't charged.

Good Lord the article wording is atrocious.....

"homeowner managed to steal the gun "

Another happy ending.

Why does the home owner have to stand in front of a grand jury for shooting some a-hole that tried to rob him and held him up with a gun. Eff that.

i thought all cases involving person on person death go to the grand jury. Whether the killer has to actually stand before the jury is an unknown to me.

Donno. Seems like a case where a robbery with a deadly weapon gets killed by the owner defending his own property, it should be looked at by a judge and if it's reasonable just close it there. Seems like a waste of a lot of people's time. Certainly to the home owner.

This was in Houston, full of corruption, they will do anything to cause grief to the good guy. Prosecutors are prolly dancing with joy for the opportunity to try and charge the homeowner with something. Good job by the homeowner none the less.

No, it is illegal to kill someone. In Texas chapter 9 of our penal code allows for justifications when the illegal scout is justified if it meets specific requirements. The grand jury is where those facts and requirements are reviewed.
