A Houma, Louisiana, homeowner heard strange noises shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday and went downstairs to find an alleged intruder, whom he shot in the forehead.

4WWL reported the alleged intruder, 34-year-old Dex Herbert, fled after being shot. Police used a K9 to find Herbert a few blocks away holed up in another house.

WGNO noted a second suspect, a female named Tye Corbitt, was discovered in the same house as Herbert. She was allegedly holding a handgun when police located her and she was also arrested.

That he was lucky the homeowner used a pistol and not a rifle.

A double-tap might have sealed the deal.

A 9mm very well could bounce off at 15 feet. Still messed up his face and probably cracked his skill. It’s a thick part of the skull.

Probably any normal pistol round has a fair chance of bouncing.

If the homeowner was aiming for the forehead, it was a darn good shot, but he should’ve been aiming for center-of-mass.

One can always tell certain things about a crime report from the absence of certain information.

I trucked all around this country (except New England states). There’s plenty of drug fueled crooks of every color in every state. I been warned over the CB by local truckers what to watch out for, where to park for the night, etc.
