Two Dead, One Wounded by Home Owner

A San Marcos man killed two teenagers and injured a third
because they had reportedly broken into his home.

This article explains why the man will most probably not
be charged with the killings.

Do you agree with the concept of defending one's property
even if you must kill another person to keep all your
things? The United States Supreme Court held that law
enforcement officers cannot use deadly force if the fleeing
person has not injured another or is presenting harm to
others; cannot do it if only property is involved.

Do we need to ask the Texas legislature to revisit this law?
