A man was accused of shooting his neighbor who allegedly broke into his home and threatened to kill him.
The shooting happened shortly after midnight at the Westmount at Eldridge apartments on Elridge Parkway, according to ABC13.
Houston Police Department said a younger neighbor, who they believe had been drinking, went to his elderly neighbor’s apartment, knocked on the door, and then forced his way inside.
Police said he accused the older man of calling the cops on him and then threatened to kill him.
Houston authorities said the older neighbor never actually called the police on the man.
At that point, the older neighbor grabbed a gun and shot the man twice.
So far, investigators say it appears the younger neighbor is the one who will face charges.
“The DA’s office and HPD’s Major Assaults Division are currently investigating this, and it’s likely the person who was shot will be charged later on today and the rest of it will be referred to a grand jury in the future,” Lt. J.P. Horelica said.
The neighbor who was shot was taken to the hospital.
Stonix News, as of when filing this report, could not confirm the condition of the victim.
