| 2009-11-03 |
| A woman fatally shot a suspected car burglar Monday night in the parking lot of her northwest Houston apartment complex, police said. The woman, who is eight months pregnant, told Houston police she shot the man about 9 p.m. after she spotted him breaking into her car parked outside the apartment in the 5900 block of Pinemont at Alabonson. The man still had a screwdriver in his hand when the woman opened fire with a shotgun. The door lock to her car also had been popped open, officers at the scene said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was still being questioned late Monday. The fatal shooting remains under investigation, Houston police said. |

| #9 Wonder how the 'Good Hands' people will react to the insurance claim: " So YOU shot your own car, is that it, Ma'am?" "I don't think comprehensive covers THAT...." |

| #6 If it was in Massaholia they would arrest her for not running away if they had to, BUT, they would arrest her for carrying the shotgun first and not having it (and the shells) locked in separate containers in separate places. |

| #4 2nd morale of the story: Don't f-ck with a 8-month pregnant woman with a shotgun. she will be irritable, tied, and not very disposed to take any of your shit. Question: Do 8-month pregnant women in Texas always pack shotguns? |

| #3 It's dark out, screwdriver in hand, pregnant woman, busted lock? It won't matter. No jury in Texas would convict, even if he was shot in the back. |

| #2 As I recall, the law in Texas makes fair game of anyone messing with your stuff at night. |

| #1 Have to check the races of the woman and perp (I mean, victim) before we know if this is good or not. |
