The Evil Gun Owner shot him for trespassing. Or did he? Homeless man shot, killed by homeowner after trespassing in NE Houston neighborhood
That’s where investigators say the confrontation turned physical.
According to police, the homeowner told officers the man attacked him during the encounter. The homeowner then pulled out a pistol and fired at the man.
Now it is true that he was shot "after trespassing," because he was trespassing, and told to leave - and he did leave - before he came back and became confrontational.
But if you present the facts in that order, you can't cast the gun owner as being eeeevil. You have to get to paragraph 9 before you find out that there was more than simple trespassing involved, and the Professional Journalists™ know most people don't read that far, and I doubt an AI summary will get that far.
As for the guy who got shot, he ran off, and it took police some time to find his body. Would he have survived if he had stayed put, and been taken to a hospital? We will never know.
It is early days for the investigation, but this didn't happen in New Jersey.
Self-defense is a human right.
