Good Guy With Gun Saves Mother From Home-invading Conman Dressed As Nurse

A Houston man used deadly force against a home invader who broke into his mother’s residence while disguised as a nurse. 

When the invader failed to trick the elderly woman into letting him inside, he forced his way into the home while the victim called her son for help.

Arriving just as the man breached the front door, the son of the 65-year-old retiree opened fire on the criminal. Houston police quickly determined that the shooting was defensive and that the house appeared to be chosen at random from a neighborhood with a high number of elderly residents, but an investigation is still underway.

The invader died at the scene from his wounds.

“It doesn’t look like there’s any relation at all,” HPD Lt. J.P. Horelica told KHOU. “It was just a random thing.”
