The two residents told officers that a white car pulled up and parked in front of the home. Three men exited the vehicle and entered the home through the front door. A physical altercation followed and one of the residents fired a handgun at the intruders. The three intruders quickly left and the residents said they believe that two of the three suspects were hit by the gunfire.

In Texas...

Cynthia Ruiz, a widow and single mother, revealed that she collapsed when San Antonio police officers notified her that her 19-year-old son, Andrew Herrera, had been shot and killed the previous night during an attempted robbery at Popeyes Chicken in the 800 block of Southeast Military Drive.
“Did my son deserve to be punished? Yes, he did,” she said.
Police stated that Herrera, in a hoodie and a mask, entered the restaurant with a gun and confronted a man and his family.
After the man explained that he had spent all the money he had on the dinner, Herrera turned and pointed the gun towards the counter at one worker who was running away.
The man, who had a license to carry a concealed weapon, took the opportunity and fired at Herrera several times.
