CHINA SPRING (August 31, 2012)—A homeowner confronted a burglary Friday morning at a residence in China Spring and was able to fire at least one shot at the suspect before he ran away.

McLennan County deputies were sent just before 11 a.m. to a residence in the 2000 block of Meandering Way where a homeowner reported he had opened fire on a man who was trying to break into the home.

Chief Deputy Randy Plemons could not say if the burglar was hit by the gunfire.

Deputies had mounted a search for the suspect Friday afternoon.

The homeowner was not harmed in the incident.

Unusual case. They give a description of the suspect.

Wasn’t Obama in Texas yesterday?

That could be racist. They should have said a 'youth wearing light colored clothes.' Now someone may actually be able to identify him.

Oh, BTW, I would pay for a bit more range time for the homeowner.

Yes, barely since El Paso is just inside the Texas border with Mexico and New Mexico.
