GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas -- Police in Grand Prairie said a 19-year-old would-be robber from Fort Worth died after accidentally shooting himself during an early-morning break-in.
A Grand Prairie police spokesman, Lt. John Brimmer, said Cameron Sands was found dead early Tuesday in the driveway of a house he'd broken into on the 2800 block of Garden Grove Road.
Brimmer said it appears that sometime while trying to break in, the man shoved the small-caliber semi-automatic into his waistband and it fired, striking him in the lower abdomen. Sands then dropped the gun and ran from the home, making it as far as the driveway before he collapsed.
Brimmer said Sands was dead in the driveway when officers arrived at about 5:30 a.m.
The homeowner was not injured.

Texans have gotten so skilled at killing thieves, rapists and murderers, that the criminals have cut out the middleman and are offing themselves.
Bravo, Texas!!!

Too bad that the MSM will probably add this perp to the list of “children killed by gun violence”.

Something about this scenario just struck me...if this clown had had an accomplice with him could that accomplice,under Texas law,be charged with murder or manslaughter?
Any Texas legal beagles out there?

To the MSM, there is no problem with someone breaking into a house with a gun. To the robber, he gets advocacy and sensitivity. To the traumatized family there is only suspicion and doubts.

We refer to it as “auto-offing”.
No muss, no fuss.

The MSM should immediately support legislation to ban windows, and to immediately register the windows or doors that are still in use.

Reminds me of a scene in the movie Out of Sight. A crook is running up the stairs of a house he’s robbing while holding a revolver. He trips on one of the stairs and shoots himself in the head. Good movie.
