Restaurant Owner Fatally Shoots Intruder

POSTED: Monday, April 28, 2008

BAYTOWN, Texas -- A restaurant owner fatally shot a man who broke into his east Harris County business on Sunday, officials told KPRC Local 2.

Harris County sheriff's deputies said an alarm company notified the owner of 4 Corners BBQ that someone may have been inside the restaurant on Decker Road shortly before noon.

Investigators said the owner went to the business and found a broken window and a man inside.

The owner fired one shot inside the building, fatally wounding the man.

The man's identity was not released.

Detectives said the case would be referred to a Harris County grand jury without charges.
