HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- A Spring-area dad fatally shot a teen boy he found in his daughter’s bedroom early Thursday morning, deputies said.

The shooting happened inside a home on Bridgestone Ridge near Bridgestone Path.

Harris County Precinct 4 Deputy Constables were the first to respond after someone called 911 around 2:30 a.m. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the shooting.

Investigators said the dad accused in the shooting woke up to find the male teen in his 16-year-old daughter’s bedroom.

“There was some type of altercation, and the father shot the male one time,” said Sgt. Ben Bell with the sheriff’s office. “The 17-year-old male is deceased inside the house.”

1. This asshole will probably get

some type of NRA award for it.

2. Indeed

I feel bad for the kid and the girl that had to witness it. Americans (not all obviously) are just too damned gun-happy.

4. This is even beyond 'gun happy'. A poor

16 year old with his hormones raging doesn't deserve a death sentence.

11. The father is African American for the record.

So I think we can throw out redneck stereotyping at this point.

5. Was the teen boy an assailant or the daughter's boyfriend?

6. This has happened in my neighborhood. So far, "word" has it the daughter

claimed she did not know the boy. Others say she is fibbing. The father claims the boy reached for something, so he shot him.

This is secondhand through local social media. I will say, it is a teachable moment for my own teenage son.

For the record, this area is extremely diverse with regard to nationality, politics, and race.

When they thought it was a white man killing someone, it was murder.  When it is a black guy, they look for excuses.

I don't care what color, ethnicity, etc., the "yute" is.  He's in my house, uninvited, at 2:30 am? 

He gun get ventilated.

He probably just got finished reading the pedo promoting campfire on the DU and got spooked.

He should have come through the front door... there's a far smaller chance of getting shot that way.

Reminds me of a line from "Redneck Rampage"


"Screw with the bull, ya git the horn".

How darn they call him "boy".....that's racist.

Some kind of crap here.

Wake up in the night and find someone in your home that you did not invite and ---now what ?

We have seen in the last few years kids kidnapped, and adults raped and killed by people that get into the house.   Not a good feeling to know someone  may be climbing in a window at night for any reason.

We are not about to confront a stranger and ask them "what the heck are you doing here in the dark."   Good way to get your own head blown off.

Got kids in their teens, let them know if they invite friends into the home at any time without your knowing it, there could be some blood spilled, yours, your kids, or the person they let in.

I had at one time a daughter that for some reason allowed a young man to stay in the cellar for a few days.   He never left the cellar as I had 2 Dobe's that wandered the house day and night.

I had no idea the male was down there until the dogs alerted me there was something going on . I called the cops and they came and got the kid out of the cellar, he was an escapee from a  detention center that had sweet talked my daughter into hiding him.  

Daughter did not know he was held on charges of assaulting his 3 year old sister.

Never know who your kids will meet and feel sorry for, sneak them into the house to get fed or what ever.

Walk into a child's bedroom at night and find someone there, this is when one does not ask questions, the questions only come after a parent has taken a unknown threat out one way or the other.

Teach your boys well, never go a hunting a female even if she opens the door to let you in, tells you it is OK, Daddy or Mommy may wake up and that is the end of ones life right there and then.

I can understand the Obamaite father's rage.

His daughter is sixteen years old, so he's probably already raising her first three children.

     Guys, you really need my handy matrix to select the proper and approved DU Gun Violence Narrative:

Ok, I know this derails the thread a little bit but it illustrates, very nicely, the mindset of your typical DUmmie;

B Calm (20,864 posts)

55. My dad lived to ninety and


he had common sense too. Seriously, you don't see people using common sense too much anymore. Look at all the voters out there working for a paycheck and voting Republican.

See there.  See what B Calm has shown us?  If you don't want to work for a paycheck, you vote Democrat.  Once you've done that, you are handed a paycheck simply for your vote!

I went over and read the whole stupid thread.  I seriously don't understand how those people cannot understand the sanctity of a home.  Even if you're homeless, living in a buick, next to the library, you have some rights in your home.  I don't care if you break into my home, naked, telling me all you want to do is take one of my forks, I'm going to shoot you!  Simply because you didn't have the common sense to not kick my door in.  If you're willing to do that, there's no telling WHAT you'll do.

     To a liberal, you don't really own your home. Not only didn't you build that, you didn't buy it. So your right to defend it at all, let alone with deadly force, is in question and up for debate. Just ask Chris Hayes and Ronan Sinatra; they'll express "concerns" about your right to not be terrorized. Unless you're THEM, of course.

Enter my home at night?

The first two rounds are #9 bird shot, but don't discount the impact the shot canister has at close range. The next four rounds are .357 lead semi-wadcutters guaranteed to expand greatly in soft tissue.

**** that.  .45 caliber 185-grain P+ hollowpoint.  Homie don't play warning shots.

[seahorse513]

1. Remind me, to make sure I get invited

2. Call you as a reminder that you invited me, and I will  be there the following week.

3. Text you the night before, to tell you I will be arriving the next day, and to tell your family....

That way bullets won't go to waste, and I get to see my next birthday!!

I've tried it. A .357 bird shot canister will penetrate ¾" CDX plywood at the distances you'd have inside a house. That's fatal enough. I don't like anything more powerful that's jacketed, or semi-jacketed because I don't like putting a round through my neighbor's house.

But that's for another discussion.

Seahorse, you're always invited.........just call first.

That's one reason I bought "The Judge".

Prosecutors say Houston man who shot and killed his 17-year old daughter's boyfriend after finding them in bed together is unlikely to face charges due to the legal precdent of "see, now, this here is Texas".

Yeah, that's why I use 4 buck for home defense.

00 buck in my house.  6 of them, then 2 rifled slugs, in case they run.
