A Fort Worth homeowner took his firearm and defended his family during a possible attempted break-in this week.
WFAA-TV reports that when Fort Worth Police officers responded to a shooting call, they located a person who had been shot twice.
They looked out the window and saw a man on their property acting erratically.
“He already had tore down some part of the wooden fence,” Christina (whose husband shot the man) said. “He was just going back and forth in the backyard to our driveway.”
She called 9-1-1 and her husband grabbed his gun.
“He came to our driveway and with a plank, a wooden plank from our fence, he broke our daughter's bedroom window,” Christina said.
The suspect later tried to get in through the kitchen door, when he was shot by the homeowner.

“This guy is lucky to be alive,” Fort Worth Police public information officer Tracy Carter said. “The homeowner did what any of us would have done -we’d want to protect our family.”
35-year-old Jeremy Black was booked on suspicion of burglary charges on Wednesday.
The homeowner is not facing any charges in the incident.
