They said the homeowner went outside and shot at the men.

One of them was shot and taken to the hospital in stable condition, while the other man was not hurt.

Both men were charged with burglary of a motor vehicle.

“The DA’s office did accept charges on the suspects that were breaking into the vehicle for BMV and then they declined charges on the homeowner as he was protecting his property,” said Lt. Kham with the Houston Police Department.
