A man caught breaking into an east side home was shot in the back by someone who lived there early Saturday, Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies told News 4 WOAI.

The homeowner caught the burglar close to 6 a.m. Saturday inside his home on Little Port Drive, authorities said. The two men began to fight.

The homeowner’s roommate woke up and fired a gun at the intruder, officials said. The man was hit in the back with pellets, deputies said.

The homeowner and roommate are not expected to face any charges, deputies said.

“It was in self-defense,” Sgt. Chris Burchell with Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said of the shooting. “They also were protecting each other.”

The intruder was recovering at Brooke Army Medical Center Saturday night. No word on his condition.

I'm sure the burglar will sue the homeowner next.

Hopefully he used a shotgun. Not a pellet gun.

Normally I'd be a little worried about a guy getting shot in the back but if the roommate came across the two fighting he'll probably be alright.

I hate that the guy gets treated at BAMC though. That's where our military get treated, that POS doesn't deserve the privilege of being treated there.

Don't think they can do that anymore after that law was passed last week..
My take on that was you can shoot an intruder in your home, yard. or car without fear of them coming after you in civil court.... :clap
