HOUSTON – A burglary suspect chose the wrong house Wednesday morning in north Houston.

He broke a window to get into the home on Blueberry near Bluegrass.

The homeowner heard a noise and confronted the suspect, who tried to escape through the broken window.

The homeowner then shot him three times, according to police.

The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

The homeowner is a trucker who normally parks his big rig near the house. Police said a friend had moved the truck Wednesday morning so the burglar probably thought no one was home.
