A Houston couple sleeping in their apartment at 5810 Fondren early Sunday morning awoke to gunfire. When they got up, two men ran out of their apartment. They found a dead man who had been shot several times in their bathroom. Reports about whether they knew the man are inconsistent.

Sounds a little shaky to me, that just doesn't quite add up...

No connection to the apt. he was found dead in???

Theory: BG #1 stumbled in the dark with his finger on the trigger and launched one into BG#2. BG #1 was so surprised by the first ND he inadvertently triggered off another one or two. (I always read "multiple gunshots" in an article, especially a first report, as "no one has any idea how many shots.") Survivors exit stage left. I remember a couple years ago a cop in a school restroom in San Antonio triggered off two NDs in a row.

Alt Theory: The BGs picked a really bad time to have an argument, and someone lost.

p.s. At one of the article sources, there is a sidebar link "Man shot in sportsbar bathroom." Apparently bathrooms are good places to get shot.

That's a good theory. The dead guy must have had his wallet in his pocket, because they ID'ed him immediately.

I think most people being awakened by gunfire would have a hard time telling how many shots were fired, and witnesses rarely agree on things like that.

The most acceptable answer to a LEO in response to "How many shots were fired?" being asked of you after a nighttime breakin in your home should be:

"I'm not sure, let me see how many are left in my magazine"

dicion wrote:"I'm not sure, let me see how many are left in my magazine"

Or, "Let's retrace my steps and count the empty mags."

Mabye they had an argument over who was going to swipe the toothbrushes and it got outta hand

No honor among thieves

And apparently not a brain between em!

Very strange, very strange indeed. I can't think of a better theory that the ones above, so I'll just agree with ya'll.
