A Houston homeowner fatally shoots suspected robber

Police are questioning a southeast Houston man who fatally shot a suspected robber early Tuesday during an apparent home invasion.

The homeowner, who was not injured, found two armed men dressed in black about 3:30 a.m. after pulling into the garage of the house in the 9500 block of Almeda Pines.

The accused robbers forced open the back door and began shooting at the homeowner in the living room. He returned fire, police said, fatally striking one of the men who collapsed and died in the back yard.

The other man fled the scene. Police said the homeowner is licensed to carry a concealed weapon.
