How ‘bout them apples.
The mother says her 10-year-old daughter saw the man looking at her through the window at their home in Northwest Harris County and was reportedly pleasuring himself.
The parents say they heard screams from the daughter and rushed outside armed to confront that man.
“I’m literally saying you’re not going anywhere,” the mother said as she described how the suspected peeper was trying to get away.
The couple followed the man to the Valero gas station across the street. As the 10-year-old’s father went inside to tell the clerk to call 911, his wife stayed outside with the suspect.
“He is wrestling with me, with my gun, and I’m like, ‘I’m not going to let you get my gun, you are not going to kill me or shoot me,’” she said. “My husband just said he heard a ‘ca, ca,’ but by that time the guy had already grabbed me, got my gun and pulled it on myself.”
That is when the woman said her husband shot the man.
“We didn’t want this guy to get shot. We were waiting for police to detain him because I’m pretty sure if he did this to my children, he’s doing it to a lot of other children out here,” she said. “We are praying for the suspect and we are also praying for his family.”
Investigators said the suspected peeper is in critical, but stable condition.
The case will be referred to a grand jury.”
