A homeowner in San Antonio shot a man who kept coming to the door refusing to leave, with a shotgun.
The man knocked at the front door late at night. He was asked to leave by the owners.
According to CBS Austin, this happened twice. Both times, the homeowners requested that the man leave. He was told to “never return,” per an article from LMT Online.
The homeowners report hearing a noise outside a little while later. The husband grabbed a shotgun and checked the yard. His wife followed him out.
Shotgun Defense
The man reappeared a third time and attacked the homeowners. The husband fired his shotgun, hitting the attacker in the abdomen. He said his fear was for his wife.
Police received the call for a shooting around 1 a.m. that night. They arrived and attempted to perform life-saving actions on the suspect. He died on the scene, KENS5 reported.
The authorities have not released identities, but the attacker was a 47-year-old man. Neither the husband nor the wife reported injuries.
The case is still under investigation. No charges have been made against the homeowner so far.
Do What You Have To Do
He was at his home. The man was asked to leave and didn’t, which is trespassing. When the man allegedly attacked the homeowner, that became assault.
When the homeowner fired his shotgun, that was presumably self-defense. He had his safety and his wife’s safety to worry about.

But we do know that if something happens, and we can’t protect ourselves, we’ll regret it. Are you prepared to defend yourself if it becomes necessary?
