(TX) Homeowner kills violent invader 08-27-03
“the burglar was a convicted felon, just released from prison.”
Why can’t the morons in the anti self defense crowd fight to keep these people in jail where they belong, instead of wasting time and energy on blaming inanimate objects and while making unarmed victims outa law abiding citizens by attempting to pass gun “owner” control laws?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
…………..as they say – it’s the REPREAT offender, stupid!

A violent home invasion with a twist, a intruder is killed by the man
who lives there. The family speaks out to News 4 WOAI Wednesday.
“I was more scared than anything else. I was kinda hoping its not at my
house, it can’t be,” said Yvette Gomez, family shot by intruder.
It was 23-year old Gomez who was heading home from night school Tuesday
night when she saw cops in her front yard. She says that’s when police
told her, an intruder shot her father and brother.
Police say 27-year old Richard Gomez Junior was sitting in the living
room watching television when he answered a knock at the door. Yvette
says that’s when the intruder burst in and started firing. “My dad heard
the gunshot, he went and got his gun, he went out and as soon as he got
to the hallway, he noticed that they had the gun pointed to my brother’s
head. He didn’t hesitate, he just shot,” said Gomez. That one shot
killed 37-year old James Adam Garcia instantly.
News 4 WOAI has learned the burglar was a convicted felon, just released
from prison.
Yvette says police told her that they believe that his was a random
invasion and that the intruder was just looking for some quick cash.
This random act of violence has police offering advice for any
homeowner. “That if they have a peep hole or if they have a nearby
window look through that before you open the door,” said Sandy
Guiterrez, San Antonio Police Dept.
A hard lesson for Yvette and her family, “as far as it goes, I’m just
really happy nothing’s going to happen to my dad,” said Gomez.
The intruder busted into the Gomez house on Pletz street on the
southwest side Tuesday night. Yvette’s father will not be charged for
shooting the intruder. Meantime, police are still searching for at least
two other suspects in connection with the home invasion.
