A woman fatally shot a suspected car burglar Monday night in the parking lot of her northwest Houston apartment complex, police said.

The woman told Houston police she shot the man about 9 p.m. after she spotted him breaking into her car parked outside the apartment in the 5900 block of Pinemont at Alabonson.

The man still had a screwdriver in his hand when the woman opened fire with a shotgun. The door lock to her car also had been popped open, officers at the scene said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was still being questioned late Monday.

The fatal shooting remains under investigation, Houston police said.

What's interesting is that it says she opened fire, which I take to mean more than one shot.....meaning she was maybe using a semi-auto shotgun? Even better.

Good for her. She lives in a free state. He'll never break into another car.

MA actually does have a "Castle Doctrine" law, it just doesn't extend to your property.. especially outside of your dwelling.

Not sayin that I don't wish it DID cover you to that extent.
