From the Houston Chronicle of February 9, 2005
Police search for armed men in botched home invasion



Harris County Sheriff's deputies were searching for the armed men responsible for a botched home invasion robbery late Tuesday that sent the homeowner to the hospital, officials said.



The victim, in his late 50s, was confronted about 9:15 p.m. soon after he pulled into the garage at his home in the 11900 block of Palmetto Shores.



"The suspect entered his garage and (the homeowner) began firing to defend himself. We don't know if he hit anybody," said Detective Felipe Rivera, with the Harris County Sheriff's Department.



Investigators said two other people left the area soon after the gunshots were exchanged. "Witnesses are saying that they observed the suspects running down the street (and) firing," Rivera said.
