Chief Tango sends us our feel good stories again this morning, the first is from Texas;
Family members told deputies that their mother was in the kitchen cooking breakfast with three young granddaughters when the armed men broke in. The woman’s adult son heard the commotion from his bedroom and grabbed his gun.
“… and when he heard ‘please don’t hurt the girls,’ that’s when he took action,” deputies said.
The son wasted no time in shooting and killing one of the suspects.
“They were basically at a standoff, and he discharged first,” said Sgt. Felipe Rivera with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. “One of the suspects did fire inside the residence.”
Thankfully, none of the family members were hurt.
The next story is from Kansas;
The call was the building owner who said he was inside the address when a subject broke- in. Police say there was some type of confrontation and the intruder was shot.
The subject was transported to a local hospital where he is currently being treated for his injuries

Texas? No accent? Now, how am I supposed to beleve for one second it’s really in Texas?
It’s good to know that the homeowner was in residence and was able to defend his castle. And the older man was right – no matter where you are now, the thugs are going to show up at some point. This is why, even in my peaceful neighhborhood, I never leave the doors unlocked.
Jeezus, Houston/Harris County racking up frequent “feel good” appearance awards….incredible shooting under duress.
Shoot first, shoot to kill.
