Our non-productive ne’er-do-well won’t do that again.

Good riddance.

FORT BEND COUNTY, TEXAS (KTRK) — A homeowner shot and killed a man trying to rob him Wednesday night at his home in Fort Bend County. And the sheriff had a strong message for criminals — “You may want to go back to Harris County.”

Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls tells Eyewitness News the would-be robber demanded money from the homeowner as he pulled into his driveway in the 18300 block of Mossy Creek. That’s in the Mission Sierra subdivision near Richmond.

Instead, the homeowner grabbed a gun from his vehicle and shot the man two times. A photograph taken just moments after shows the homeowner–with his gun in hand–standing steps away from the man’s lifeless body in his front yard. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
