Houston is a town in Alaska in this case. Suspected burglar shot and wounded by Mat-Su homeowner, troopers say
The Matanuska-Susitna Valley, or Mat-Su, is an area in south-central Alaska.
A 30-year-old man was shot Wednesday night while stealing items from a home in Houston, Alaska State Troopers said.
This is the second time within a week that a burglary escalated into a shooting in Mat-Su. A 22-year-old man died the morning of Dec. 17 when a woman in a home near Wasilla's airport shot him after he broke into the home and attacked her husband, troopers said.
When he was discovered rummaging in the garage, he was confronted by the homeowner, and tried to use a lamp as a blunt-force weapon. He was shot twice.
Troopers were called to the home around 7:30 p.m. and provided first aid to Johnson, who was transported to the hospital for injuries described as not life-threatening, they said.
Self-defense is a human-right.
