Fort Worth: Homeowner shoots armed robber, police say
An 18-year-old man was shot twice by a homeowner he was trying to rob in
South Fort Worth, police said. The man, whose name was not disclosed,
was shot in the head and chest and was in critical condition Wednesday
night at John Peter Smith Hospital. Police said a homeowner in the 900
block of East Ripy Street was unloading a vehicle from a trailer in
front of his house about 8:30 p.m. when three men drove up. One of them
got out, pointed a handgun at the man and demanded money, police said.
The homeowner, who police said has a permit to carry a concealed
handgun, pulled out a gun and shot the man. The other two men fled but
returned a short time later and were charged with aggravated robbery.
