Gunfire erupted this morning inside a northeast Harris County home. By
the time it was over, two men were dead and a third was being sought by
sheriff’s deputies.

The shooting occurred about 5 a.m. at the house in the 4200 block of
Glenchase Lane.
Precinct 4 deputy constables went to the scene after the homeowner
called to report a break-in at the residence.

When they arrived, the constables found one man dead and another shot,
but still alive. He was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital where he
later died from his injuries, officials said. Harris County Sheriff’s
detectives were called to the scene to investigate.

The homeowner, who has not been identified, told investigators he and
his brother-in-law were asleep upstairs when the front door was kicked
in.

Three men entered and ran upstairs armed with shotguns. They exchanged
gunfire with the homeowner after forcing open the bedroom doors. Two of
the intruders were shot during the gunfight, officials said. A third
intruder who fled may be wounded.

Detectives said the third man he could be driving a blue or green
Cadillac Escalade with a California license plate 4ABU25.

The shooting is being referred to the Harris County Grand Jury without
any recommendation for charges.

The motive behind the home invasion was still unknown later today.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime
Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
