Father Defends His Daughter (with Help)

This is also an EPIC failure of the victim-selection process. Magnolia homeowner’s father shoots man making threats to his daughter

If you are going to "bother" someone, make sure that her father isn't a retired cop. You might also want to check on who her neighbors are, and if she is friendly with them. One of the neighbors is a cop who was off duty. Both the father and the neighbor showed up in response to her call for help.

It’s unclear what happened when they both got to the scene, but Montgomery Co. deputies said both men shot the trespasser “due to the ongoing threats.”

Montgomery Co. Sheriff Wesley Doolittle, whose office will be handling the investigation since there is a connection to the Houston PD, made a statement, that included the following.

The suspect was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital and is expected to survive. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the Houston Police Department, and the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office are conducting an investigation into this shooting incident.

Self-defense is a human right, and defending your daughter would seem to be a moral imperative. As for legality, this didn't happen in New Jersey or on the Island of Manhattan.
