If
you are a burglar and want to lock your victim in a closet, you might want to see what is stored in there...
The victim of an armed home invasion in Houston has
turned the tables on the brazen intruders after they stuffed him into a
closet that turned out to be the place where he stores his gun.
Police say it all started at around 2pm Tuesday when three men broke
into a home in the 8200 block of Braeburn Valley Drive and assaulted the
resident.
After a brief scuffle, the hapless perpetrators shoved the man into a closet, not knowing that there was a gun in there.
When the homeowner thought the burglars had left, he went
downstairs, carrying his gun in case the suspects were still around,
the Houston Chronicle reported.
On the first floor, the man confronted one of his assailant and the two exchanged gunfire, according to police.
The resident, who shares the house with his parents, escaped
unharmed, but the armed suspect was much the worse for wear after being
struck in the shoulder and leg.
He fled on foot down the street, but did not get far before he
collapsed. His two suspected accomplices took off from the scene in a
Chevrolet Tahoe.
