I'm sure there will be a big debate over all of this. Quannel X, a Houston black activist, has a protest planned in front of Mr. Horn's residence. He's the guy that shot the two burglars at the neighbor's house. Now, we've got another one. At least this one had the sense to state he thought the thief was raising an "object" in his direction.
C&P:
Homeowner kills suspected thief in yard
He was then hospitalized for chest pains after the shooting
A homeowner in Porter shot and killed a suspected thief Thursday, then had to be hospitalized after suffering from chest pains after the shooting.
The suspect, Rodney Earl Shamlin, 36, died at an area hospital shortly after the 1 p.m. shooting, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department said.
No other details about the suspect were available.
The homeowner, Gerald Lynn Southworth, was treated for chest pains at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital.
Southworth called 911 shortly after 1 p.m. Thursday, saying he had shot a man in his yard in the 21000 block of West Hammond after he caught the man trying to steal from him, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.
The suspect, who lay wounded in the yard when patrol officers arrived, died shortly after arriving at an area hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest.
Southworth, who reportedly had been the victim of numerous thefts at his home, said he fired once at the man in his yard after the suspect raised an unknown object in his direction, the report states.
The case is expected to be referred to a Montgomery County grand jury, according to investigators.

At least this one had the sense to state he thought the thief was raising an "object" in his direction.Best bet is to politely keep your mouth shut until you speak with an attorney. After all, the cops do the same thing if they're involved in a shooting...or at least the smart ones do.
A situation can be bad, but if explained correctly you can come out smelling like a rose. On the other hand, a situation can be completely on the up and up, but if explained wrong it can get you the royal shaft.
