HOUSTON -- The Pasadena man who shot and killed two suspected burglars last November testified before a grand jury Thursday.

Joe Horn was escorted into and out of the courtroom in secret, so no one knew he was there.

He testified for an hour and a half.

Meanwhile, the fiancé of one of the men Horn killed made it clear how she felt about his fate.

“He shouldn’t have shot those men. He shot them in the back,” Stephany Storey said. “I think he should see jail time. He should be behind bars.”

She had hoped to make that point before the grand jury, but she was turned away.

The grand jury has been on the case for two weeks, working through the details of an incident that garnered national attention.

Horn maintains that he shot the men – two illegal immigrants police believe were part of an organized home burglary ring – in self defense.

But an autopsy report on the men indicated that they were shot in the back.

The shooting ignited a national debate about the use of deadly force in protecting property.

Many of Horn’s neighbors supported his actions, while some community activists have condemned him as a gun-toting vigilante.
