Oops, Wrong House: A homeowner shot and wounded a burglar who entered
his bedroom while he was on the phone with a 911 operator, deputies
with the Harris County [TX] Sheriff's Office said this morning. Around
2:30 a.m., a homeowner in the 13000 block of Lima near Beechnut in
southwest Houston called 911 to report an intruder. The burglar,
possibly hearing something coming from the bedroom, opened the door
and was shot in the arm, deputies said. The 19-year-old suspect was
taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening injury and was
expected to be booked into jail once he was treated. A woman in a car,
apparently an accomplice, also was arrested outside. According to
deputies, the burglar entered through a kitchen window and was bagging
up electronics and other loot in the living room, which woke up the
homeowner. Names of those involved were not immediately available.

Oops, Wrong Car: A District police officer traded gunfire with
would-be carjackers in Prince George's County [MD] Sunday in the
second such incident in the county in less than a week, Prince
George's police said. The off-duty police officer involved in Sunday's
incident in Capitol Heights was not hurt. It was not clear whether he
wounded either of the two people who tried to take his car at
gunpoint, police said. They were at large Sunday night… In Sunday's
incident, the D.C. officer, whose name was not released, had just
parked his vehicle on Brooks Drive about 6:20 a.m. As he got out, he
was approached by two people, county police said. One showed a gun and
demanded the officer's keys. The officer got his service weapon and
fired, police said. As the two people ran, one fired back, police
said. The incident was similar to a confrontation Wednesday night in
which an off-duty county police officer was shot by a man who
approached him as he was getting out of his car in a parking lot on
Jaywick Avenue in Fort Washington… (It must usually be pretty safe for
robbers to target drivers coming out of DC as regular, law-abiding
folks cannot legally carry firearms in the District.)
