HOUSTON (KTRK) - Police are investigating after a suspected “peeping Tom” outside a Houston home was shot to death by a woman inside.
A woman in north Houston says she was frightened when she saw a strange man looking into her bedroom window around 11 p.m. Friday night.
Believing she was in danger, she got her rifle and opened fire in self-defense.
Police say the woman fired several shots through her wall, at least one of which apparently hit the suspect in the torso.
Investigators believe the man staggered a short distance then died at the scene.
Police say there’s been no decision yet as to whether any charges will be filed.
