Intruder shot and killed by homeowner in Fredericksburg, GCSO says
GILLESPIE COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — A 19-year-old man was shot and killed after he broke in to a Fredericksburg house early Saturday morning, according to the Gillespie County Sheriff’s Office.
The homeowner, a 73-year-old man, told police he woke up to a “loud banging noise” outside of his home near the back patio around 12:45 a.m. Saturday.
When he went to check, the man saw Cleto Neri Solorzano, 19, of Fredericksburg on the back porch. Solorzano began attacking the man, pushing him into the home and hitting him with a blunt object. Police report Solorzano put the man into a chokehold causing him to lose consciousness.
The man’s fiancee’ told police she woke up during the fight and asked Solorzano to stop attacking, but he ignored her. According to GCSO, she got a handgun from the bedroom and fired a warning shot out the patio door, but Solorzano continued to attack the man.
Fearing for her safety and seeing her fiance’ unconscious, she fired another shot, hitting Solorzano in the head. The man called 9-1-1 after he regained consciousness, police say.

Exactly why I lent shotguns out to two of my sons. One of my guys wanted to borrow a handgun as well but turned him down – no (NY) pistol license.
These days I’m packing my .380 at all times – one never knows what some of these a-holes will do.
I hope everyone stays safe and healthy.
Like a seatbelt, you are unlikely to need a sidearm until you suddenly need it very badly.
^word^ Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Good on Ms Thang for looking out for old Homeboy. Smart move on his part; picking one that could handle home invaders AND recognize the symptoms of stroke.
Shoulda bought us a case or two of them AKs when they were $200 a pop and stashed them. Pretty nice ROI to resell now.
Diabolical plot you gots there Mister with the linky to the AR articles. You KNOW imma gonna roam around over there for a bit. Tanks!
Warning FA, it’s for sale, have a bucket and paper towels hand to clean up.

Any relative of Cleetus?
I am never without my 9mm luger! I feel sorry for anyone that tries to enter my home or vehicle without my permission! Stay safe out there folks.
My Ruger LCR in .357 fits nicely in a jeans
pocket and you would never know. I prefer an
inside coat pocket for cross draw but summer
wear in the front jeans strongside is nice.
I load it with 38 spl+P though because Ouch!
Great weapon and also a great choice of ammo and you’re right! Ouch! lol
Firm believer that a .22 in the hand beats hell out of the .44 or .45 on the dresser. Mouse guns may not be ideal, but they can be THERE.
While warning shots are not only a waste of ammunition, they can also be dangerous as you have to know where they will end up, I applause the Fiancé for a well placed Head Shot! [two to the body, one to the head]…practice, practice, practice.
Miz Poe went to high school with the fellow who was attacked and tells me he is quite an accomplished individual who got his start patenting lighting systems for disco floors back in the 70’s then designing and patenting fluid control valves and such for the oil industry. He’s now a multi-millionaire, so I’m wondering why he didn’t have a better security system.
Certainly has a very ballsy mate, though…
Fuck a bunch of warning shots! A waste of ammo and, legally, they take away your claim of being in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm. You’re essentially admitting that you believed the situation could be resolved with something less than lethal force.
Yep. The only “warning shot” should be center mass.
