If I woke up to somebody entering my bedroom with a gun in their hand, I hope I would have a gun within reach. This scenario has crossed my mind and all I have for a weapon is a police baton and a baseball bat.
So, these were teens...should we feel sorry that they lacked direction from their parents or guardians?
Or...is this just another case of "weeding out the thugs".
SAN MARCOS — About 2 a.m. Friday, when a San Marcos resident heard a commotion outside his bedroom, he grabbed his .40-caliber Glock pistol and opened the door, police said. When he saw a teenager pointing a gun at him, according to police, the resident fired several shots that left two Luling 16-year-olds dead and another teen seriously wounded. A fourth teen fled to escape from the gunfire, police said.
Three of the four youths appeared to be holding weapons, police say. One had a handgun, and the other two had pellet guns that looked like handguns, police said.
A fourth suspect, identified by police as Frank Castro, 17, fled from the house, in the 900 block of Chestnut Street near the Texas State University campus. San Marcos Police Chief Howard Williams said Castro escaped the house uninjured but returned to look for the other teens. Williams said police arrested him at the scene. The names of the dead and injured teens were not released.
