They were met with gunfire but not from the officer. Instead, his teenage son surprised the burglars with a military style weapon.

The 15-year-old boy and his 12-year-old sister were home alone when they heard glass shatter on a back window.

"The male was concerned with protecting his younger sister, and that's exactly what he did," said Lt. Jeff Staubner, Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Investigators say the 15-year-old grabbed an automatic weapon belonging to his father, a Harris County Precinct One deputy constable.

He confronted two intruders ransacking the living room and began shooting. An adult suspect was hit several times.

According to Lt. Staubner, his juvenile accomplice drove him eight miles away to Methodist Willowbrook Hospital. The hospital alerted the sheriff's office.

The adult suspect was then flown to Memorial Hermann, The Texas Medical Center. His condition isn't known.

The juvenile was brought back to the scene and questioned. Both are facing burglary charges.

Lt. Staubner says the shooting will be referred to a grand jury.
