Imagine being at home late at night, only to have two people dressed as police officers come and attempt to break through your front door. How you respond may be the difference between life and death if you suspect foul play is involved.
You’d better be right.
A Houston man is alive today thanks in large part to the Second Amendment and his steady eye. The unidentified intended victim was home with his family Friday night at around 11 p.m. when two alleged intruders pretending to be law enforcement officers came to the front of the house.
Homeowners responded to two men claiming to be police and attempting to force their way inside
The suspects were unusually attired to be the police. They reportedly announced they were there to serve a warrant while appearing in ski masks, bulletproof vests, and badges hanging around their necks.
Investigators believe they attempted to come in through the front door and, failing that, fired into the residence.
The homeowner responded with gunfire of his own, and he struck both suspects. Responding emergency personnel pronounced the two men dead at the scene.
The lack of police cars and sirens outside tipped the residents off that something was not right
The two suspects suffered the only injuries in the frightening encounter.
The homeowners were interviewed by police investigators and expressed their surprise that there were no police cars or sirens outside when the two impersonators tried to force their way into the home. This raised suspicions and may well have saved their lives.
A child was also present at the time.
No charges have been filed against the homeowner who shot the suspects, and none are expected. Houston Police officials continue to scour the area for security doorbell footage of the incident.
Investigators did not explain if the homeowners had a reason to believe they were targeted for the attack or if it was a random occurrence. It is advisable to verify the identity of anyone you allow to enter your home, and true officers have no issue with providing identification.
There’s no better way to show your patriotism than with merch that speaks before you do.
Defend America is more than a name, it’s a stand for freedom, resilience, and the values this country was built on. Every tee, hat, and mug is a symbol of unapologetic pride. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and let the world know: freedom isn’t negotiable.
