Official Baytown Police Press Release (Updated 08.01.16):  
2016-42755 – On July 30th at approximately 11:37 pm officers responded to the 500 block of Forrest Avenue for a burglary in progress where the homeowner reportedly had shot the intruder. Upon arrival officers learned that the homeowner had heard someone knock at his door but when he went to the door he did not see anyone. The homeowner went outside to investigate when he observed a white female walking in the street, away from his house. Sensing something was not right, the homeowner retrieved his handgun and checked the outside perimeter of his residence. While doing so, he came across a white male, dressed in dark clothing, wearing a bandana over his face, who appeared out of the dark. The startled homeowner reportedly drew his weapon and told the suspect not to move. The suspect disregarded the commands and made a quick move towards the homeowner, at which time the homeowner discharged his weapon, striking the suspect one time in the abdominal area. The suspect was flown to Herman Hospital for his injuries and is currently in stable condition and is expected to survive. Detectives are still investigating so I do not have a photo at this time.
