this shooting presents a very good question;
A San Antonio homeowner, Johnathon Vasquez, 32, faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly shooting a woman on his property Saturday morning. The case, reported by Fox San Antonio, has sparked a debate among locals about the rights of property owners to defend themselves and their homes under Texas law.
According to police, Vasquez was working on his car outside his West Side residence when he saw a woman, whom he had previously noticed peering into neighbors’ yards, step onto his property. Vasquez reportedly instructed the woman to leave, but she refused and walked toward the door of his home.
Police say Vasquez retrieved a firearm from his glovebox, warned the woman that he was armed and, again, demanded she leave. When she continued advancing, Vasquez allegedly shot her in the chest. The woman survived and was hospitalized, but the incident has people talking about the application of self-defense laws in Texas with many people supporting Vasquez and others, probably surprisingly to this audience, actually saying he went too far..........more..........
