Oh good. The Criminal Justice System in Texas works. Yay.
Man who killed burglary suspects cleared
HOUSTON, Texas (AP) — A Texas man who shot and killed two men he suspected of burglarizing his neighbor’s home was cleared in the shootings Monday by a grand jury.
Joe Horn, 61, shot the two men in November after he saw them crawling out the windows of a neighbor’s house in the Houston suburb of Pasadena.
Horn called 911 and told the dispatcher he had a shotgun and was going to kill the men. The dispatcher pleaded with him not to go outside, but Horn confronted the men with a 12-gauge shotgun and shot both in the back.
“The message we’re trying to send today is the criminal justice system works,” Harris County District Attorney Kenneth Magidson said.
