(November 14, 2007)--Pasadena police say an elderly man shot and killed two men Wednesday he believed were burglarizing his neighbor's house.
Capt. "Bud" Corbett says the man heard noises he thought sounded like broken glass and determined the commotion was happening next door.
The man called police and then saw two men coming through a gate in the backyard of the neighbor's house.
Corbett says the elderly man had a shotgun and confronted the pair, told them to stop and shot them when they refused.
One person was found dead about two houses away.
The other was found dead across the street.
Police were interviewing the elderly man.

jim from killeen I like your comments, and thanks for standing up for the police. If we could we would be everywhere at once but we can not and we welcome law abiding citizens to aid us in our work. It is a community effort to keep our stated and country safe not just the polices responsibilty. That old man deserves a big hug and a large golden metal on his chest. Thats what I call an old school hero.

wow I guess there are still a few heros left in the word today. I will tell all of you this I am law enforcement here in Texas and I have seen burglarys go bad all the time and people get killed. there does not have to be a threat to be able to shoot someone. Penal Code Chapter 9 lays out the law as far as defending property, he followed the law perfectly, thats what its there for. we can't just let people runn around breaking the law. But its all fun and games until its your house or your wife and kids or parents being killed and no one has a description of the suspects except they were tall and had on white shirts, then you will feel the frustation as well
