A Texan exercised his Second Amendment rights on Friday night after individuals claiming to be police approached their home, looking for trouble.
As Fox News reported, a Houston homeowner killed two masked men wearing bulletproof vests marked with “police” and attempting to serve a warrant. The men also had badges around their necks.
The homeowner realized this was a trap after noticing no patrol cars or flashing lights were present.
“They became suspicious because they have a Ring camera and the suspects were stating they had a warrant, but it’s just two people, and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that,” Lt. Khan explained to Fox 26 Houston.
Officer C. Jones told Fox News that police responded to reports of gunfire in the southeast part of the city on Bellnole Drive.
The men fired into the home before the residents returned with gunshots. One of the homeowners fired the fatal shots, killing both of the thugs.
Police attempted CPR at the scene, but the suspects were long gone.
The homeowners were not harmed in the incident.
KHOU 11 spoke with a neighbor, who said they heard a total of 22 gunshots.
Investigators spent nearly 12 hours combing through evidence before leaving the home. They believe the dead crooks were in their 20s.
Police have not yet released their identities, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Houston Police are asking anyone with information on the incident to contact the homicide division or Crime Stoppers.
