Oak Cliff homeowner shoots one burglar, sends one running for his life

A man woke inside his house in the 6100 block of Teague Drive at 1:30 a.m. on Friday, April 18 to the sound of breaking glass. He grabbed a handgun and confronted two men inside his domicile, one of them still holding the board that was used to break the window.

The homeowner opened fire, hitting one of the home invaders in the chest and jaw and sending him to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition. The other suspect ran off and has not been seen since.

While a grand jury will convene on the shooting, police indicate it appears to have been justified.

Instead of phony burgular alarm signs, I wonder if signs announcing "homeowner is armed and will shoot your ass" would have any effect in preventing home invasions?

Thought that went without saying in TX. Must of been some furriner robbers.
