Texas teen shoots, kills two suspects breaking into Harris County home

A Texas sheriff's department said two suspects were shot and killed by a teenager Friday night after they attempted to break into a home in Harris County.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez is asking anyone with information to reach out to his office after two men allegedly attempting to break into a home Friday night were shot and killed by a teenager with a shotgun. 

A homicide release record showed that at approximately 10:40 p.m. local time, deputies responded to a call in the 16000 block of First Street in Channelview, Texas

Upon arrival, deputies located two men unresponsive from apparent gunshot wounds on the lawn to the side of the home. 

Both men were pronounced dead at that location by EMS personnel.

Homicide and crime scene units responded to conduct a follow-up investigation. 

The investigators determined both victims and a third unidentified male, while armed and wearing masks, had attempted to break into a home occupied by an adult female, a 12-year-old boy and two 17-year-old boys.

One of the 17-year-olds retrieved a shotgun and discharged it several times, striking two suspects.
