Thankfully there are many "wrong houses" in Houston, with more and more all the time.
For "right houses", try NY, CT, etc.

Single shot to the hip proved to be lethal.

Now on top of waiting for the grand jury, being placed off work, he has to worry about the other two and retaliation.

From another story:
Witnesses heard gunshots and said the officer ran outside holding a gun and handcuffs.
"He was running in his boxer shorts, chasing and telling him to stop," said Adrian Barajas, a neighbor.

"worry about the other
one..."
A man who later showed up at the hospital to check on his cousin was taken into custody. Deputies believe he is one of the burglars. His cousin was the teen shot and killed by the officer.

One thing I noticed on the reporting this incident is that nearly every report was positive toward the officer. I have to wonder if the reporting wouldn't be different if this had been an average homeowner rather than an off duty officer.
