Texas resident shoots intruder during attempted home invasion

A home on Wood St. in Texarkana, Texas was the target of an apparent home invasion on Sunday night, Feb. 24, according to a report by KSLA. Police state that two people knocked at the door at about 10:00 p.m. When a resident opened the door slightly, the two people forced their way inside, and the invasion ended in one of the intruders being shot.

Later that night, a man entered a local hospital with a gunshot wound, and police are looking into whether that individual was involved in the intrusion.

Not much else is known about the incident at this point.

With NBC’s weeklong series “investigating” “gun violence” in America, which exploits deaths that occurred over a weekend in January in an attempt to gain acceptance for gun control, the Little Rock Gun Rights Examiner has started its own series in an effort to help show that guns not only take lives, they very often save them. The series will highlight 30 days of guns saving lives. This is story number 14.
