Houston police were called to the home on the city’s southeast side just before 1 a.m. on Wednesday on reports of a shooting, and when officers arrived, they found 48-year old Orrian Anders lying on the ground with several gunshot wounds.
Anders showed up to his ex’s apartment in the 2700 block of Oakcliff around 12:30 a.m. and allegedly barged into the home, according to Houston Police Department Lt. Larry Crowson. His ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend was also inside the apartment when the man broke in, Crowson said.
At some point, Anders started attacking the new boyfriend, who pulled a gun and shot the intruder “in fear for his safety,” Crowson said.
