HOUSTON (KTRK) — Police have converged on home in northwest Houston where a teenager reportedly shot and killed a burglar. Police were called to that home on Kerrwood Lane near Peppermill around 7:30am. When they got there, they found the suspect dead.

He is only a teenager and investigators say he did what he had do to protect himself.

It was just before 7am when officers say the suspect in the case kicked in the back door of the northwest Houston home. The teen was inside asleep. He woke up when he heard the noise.

“The young man that was inside fled to another part of the room, to the house,” explained Sgt. Roberts. “The suspect came in. He was armed with what looked like a pistol. I think it’s going to be a BB pistol, but it was like a pistol. I haven’t touched it.”

Alone and fearing for his life, police say the boy grabbed a small caliber rifle and shot and killed the suspect.

Neighbor Virginia Evans said, “He is good kid, a very good kid.”

Agreed!  No doubt he does his parents proud!
