    Even if they were trespassing, that's a good reason to send shotgun blasts without warning or provocation?? Stinking morons.

    Not defending their actions by no means but texas law is different from La. If on YOUR PROPERTY after dark, you have the right to shoot if someone comes on your property uninvited. But this was not their property, and they look like they need some rehab time alright.:rolleyes:

    But they have to be warned in some way. It's not just shoot on site for someone wizzing in the bushes.

    Sec. 30.05. CRIMINAL TRESPASS. (a) A person commits an offense if he enters or remains on property or in a building of another without effective consent and he:
    (1) had notice that the entry was forbidden; or
    (2) received notice to depart but failed to do so.

    The Houston Chronicle reported that a sign in front of the suspects' home reads: "Trespassers will be shot. Survivers [SIC] will be reshot [SIC]! Smile I will."

    Shows Premeditation IMHO.

    You cannot shoot a trespasser in Texas just for trespassing. You can use deadly force after dark in the case of theft. Burglary, you can shoot 'em during daylight hours. There is something wrong upstairs with these two people. They are in some kind of deep do-do now, killing a seven year old "trespasser." Jesus.

    :squint:

    Just because a person doesn't see the sign for a "Gun Free Zone" doesn't mean that its not a gun free zone, the signs are somewhere.
