HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Investigators said a home break-in led to one man being killed and another leading police on a high-speed chase on Tuesday.The Houston Police Department said the series of events started just before 1 a.m. in a neighborhood near Ella and West Gulf Bank.
A woman was with her boyfriend when she called the police, reporting that someone was trying to break into her home. He told her to go hide in the closet, where she stayed on the phone with the police.
Investigators said two suspects kicked in the door, and the woman’s boyfriend shot and killed one of them. It turns out that the man who was shot was the woman’s ex-boyfriend.
According to authorities, the other man took off in a gray Jeep, was spotted by a patrol unit, and led police on a high-speed chase.
That suspect went off road, into a bayou near Frick Road, and was arrested around 1 a.m.
Houston police said the chase reached 100 mph at some point, and a pistol was recovered from the suspect.

Nicely done, and KHOU isn’t even trying.
Thanks again, Gun Bunny.
When you disarm your subjects, you offend them by showing that either from cowardliness or lack of faith, you distrust them; and either conclusion will induce them to hate you.

Well the gene pool got a little cleaner.
What one may call…”A good start…”, right Old tanker? I don’t think that there’s enough grilled crab cakes in the whole damn state of “Murderland, My Maryland…” to get our Beloved AW1Ed back up there. And Houston is a daily “go to” for FGS. A target rich environment.
People doing nefarious things are just like the politicians. They both want the citizen disarmed…and for the same reasons.
No boom stick that can chunk a pumpkin is “worthless”. As the Brits found out…the hard way.
About twenty some years ago, back when the WTOP news website would allow comments, someone posted some sage advice that Hack Stone Carrie’s with him to this day. That advice being “Don’t ever live in a location in Prince George’s County with Hill or Heights in the name.”
If you live on the National Capital Region, you frequently see reporters do a live feed from the latest random violence.

Probably left out a few.
I lived in Cheverly as a child. Don’t have a single fond memory of the place. My brother had five bicycles stolen, our car was hit twice on the street by hit and run drivers in early morning hours, our neighbors on both sides were burglarized, I was jumped by five kids who stole the shoes off my feet, many of the kids I went to elementary school with are either dead or in prison and my mother was mugged by an armed gunman walking home from the Metro after work one evening.
That last event precipitated our moving to Fairfax County and the difference was night and day back then.
But now Fairfax is run by Progressive Democrats who want boys in the girls locker room.
Yes, they turned it into a poorly designed mega city rife with corruption.
True story, in high school we used to drag race down a 1 mile straight away on 286 between Rte 50 and Fair Lakes Pkwy for a few years right after it was built. You could do that because there was no traffic after 5pm. For a loop track we used Monument Drive where it loops around to Government Center Parkway. There were no traffic lights when it was first built and if you check your map it makes a nice challenging little course, since nothing is banked. It was also secluded with nothing around.
Before they turned it into Fort Apache, the folks at the Office of Naval Intelligence in Suitland could watch the thieves break into their cars from the office windows. The town is either blighted or a DMZ.
An extra feel good story. If you think the US has QC problems in defense contracting, how about sinking a 5000 ton Destroyer dock side on launch?

A gun with a 5 foot barrel only weighing 10 pounds? Guess when you have a BIG hole in thebarrel, it takes a lot of steel out. At that weight, I can see why once they were adapted to bayonets soldiers liked them – one or two shots and then bayonet time – and your bayonet is a foot further front than his. Sweet…
