A Texas mother goes “mama bear” after a man tried breaking into her home while her three kids slept inside.
The incident happened last week Thursday at just before 10pm on the city’s Southeast side.
Police said the burglar got into the home through the back door into the laundry room and was trying to break into the main door leading into the home. That's when the female homeowner saw the burglar and shot him twice in the chest.
The suspect was taken to the hospital, but later died from his injuries.
There were three children inside the home at the time of the shooting, but no other injuries were reported.
The homeowner isn't facing any charges due to the castle doctrine, which allows the use of force against another person who is: unlawfully and with force entering or attempts to enter your habitation, vehicle, or workplace.
