A Texas resident grabbed his shotgun and shot and killed three men when they allegedly broke into his home, authorities said.

Early Monday morning, one of the two residents of a trailer home in Channelview -- about 20 miles east of Houston -- heard a "commotion" outside, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. He then saw several men in dark clothing -- possibly one armed -- force their way inside, the sheriff said at a news conference.

That resident ran to hide, while his roommate, armed with a shotgun, exchanged gunfire with the suspects, Gonzalez said.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

It’s easy to fall in love with all the fancy new weapons and pretend you’re playing Call of Duty when preparing to defend you home, but a gold old fashioned shotgun is a man’s best friend when it’s dark and the wolves are coming through your door.
