(Reuters) - Three suspected burglars were shot dead inside a Texas home on Monday when a man who lived there fired a shotgun at the invaders and was wounded himself in a brief gun battle, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

The wounded survivor was undergoing surgery and unlikely to face criminal charges as he had the legal right to defend his home, Gonzalez told reporters at the scene in Channelview, about 20 miles (30 km) east of Houston.

"The law allows residents inside their own homes to defend themselves," said Gonzalez, adding that the matter would nonetheless be referred to the grand jury for an inquest.

Play with fire, get burned. Moral of story, do not commit a crime.

Love this story. My office is close to Channelview, and one of the plants I have crews in is in Channelview.

IMO there ought to be a statutory name for the act of killing persons engaged in crimes with the threat of physical violence... such as...

Laudable Homicide.

The "citation" for which should come with some sort of medal.
