HOUSTON – Precinct 4 deputies said an intoxicated man was shot early Monday after he attempted to force his way into the wrong home.
It happened in the 25500 block of Twister Trail at Falcon Trail in northeast Harris County.
Deputies said a man mistakenly went to the wrong house around midnight and began banging on the front door. The homeowner told the man to leave, but the man refused, saying it was his girlfriend’s house.
The man then went to the back door and tried to force entry, according to deputies. That is when the homeowner retrieved his gun and shot once through the door, hitting the man in the stomach.
The man was taken to Ben Taub hospital in stable condition.
