This happened in Plano, Collin County, Texas. The apartments are in the 2000 (2200?) block of Park Blvd.

The BG's broke into the apartment after the homeowner didn't come to the door when they rang the bell.

The GG was at the top of the stairs when the BG's gained entry. One of the BG's rushed him and was shot
one time by the GG. The BG's fled the scene but the one who got shot was quickly captured.

The brand/model/caliber of the GG was not stated. The extent of the BG's wound was not stated.

One officer added, “Once you’re placed in a situation where you actually have to discharge a firearm at a human being – basically he was trying to protect himself – it’s tough.” It’s always funny listening to police dance around the subject like this. On the one hand, they have to admit that the gun owner did the right thing, otherwise they’d be hypocrites for not arresting the shooter. On the other hand, they don’t want to just come out and say that shooting people is acceptable.
god forbid if people knew they could protect themselfs, we can't have that now can we!

One more reason to always carry with one in the pipe.

Wow, this is right next to where my sister in law lives! I don't think they own a gun (brother in law is a priest). She is usually home all day alone with the kiddos (4 of them!). I might forward this along to them.
