A San Antonio woman was awakened in the afternoon hours to the sound of someone breaking into her home through a bedroom window. As she reached for her gun and took aim, the home intruder fell where he stood when she put at least one bullet in him. Even though the fatal daytime home invasion was truly shocking, cops were even horrified by what they found in the intruder’s car.
According to local news source Fox29, 39-year-old James Carney of New Braunsfel, Texas, died at San Antonio Military Medical Center on May 12, 2017, after he tried to break into the home of a San Antonio woman who was in bed at the time of the attempted robbery.
Police arrived on the scene to find that Carney had left his 7-year-old son waiting in the car for him, which was parked in front of the intended victim’s home. Little did Carney know, he would not be returning to his son after leaving him alone during the break-in attempt.
“She was in bed when someone was trying to climb through the window. She got her gun and shot twice and he is now pronounced dead,” said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus. Grim and disappointed was the look on the Police Chief’s face as he spoke about the young boy they found waiting in Carney’s vehicle. “We’re gonna get help for him,” he said, according to Breitbart.
The consequences of Carney’s decision to attempt a home invasion have not only ended his life but have changed the life of his 7-year-old son forever. The Texas woman who shot Carney as he tried to enter her front bedroom window was defending herself and should not be charged with a crime.
Although the 7-year-old is now fatherless, Carney’s fate was completely a result of his own choices. It may seem harsh, but one has to think about how this young boy’s life can turn out for the better now that he doesn’t have a thug father taking him out on crime ridealongs.
She done good!
