Intruder Wearing Only Underwear Terrorizes Family
The NBC affiliate in Houston, KPRC, reported on May 18 out of Harris County, Texas, about an intruder who broke in to a family’s house wearing only his underwear. The house was occupied by a family of seven, which included three generations, with the youngest ranging in age from five to 10. The incident occurred at 2 a.m., when an intruder kicked in a glass front door to the house. The deranged suspect ran into the house, where he was confronted by the 53-year-old grandfather. The suspect punched the grandfather in his face and then punched the 53-year-old grandmother in her face, as well. A 25-year-old son came running to the aid of his parents but also ended up being physically attacked by the demented intruder. As the son scuffled with the intruder, he realized that his punches were having no effect on the burglar, who the son assumed was high on some type of illegal narcotics. A violent struggle ensued, during which the suspect threw a TV set at the son.
A son-in-law was in a nearby bedroom with his three young sons at the time of the fight. When he heard the commotion, he grabbed his gun and went to investigate. He fired a warning shot into the air to scare off the underwear-clad suspect, but it didn’t work. The dangerous man continued to advance.
The son-in-law was left with no choice, and so he fired his gun again, hitting the intruder twice in the chest. The wounded attacker stumbled backward and collapsed to the floor, where his lifeless body was soon discovered by authorities. Naarai Olbera, a daughter of the husband and wife who were beaten, stated, “We are a Christian family. We don’t believe in killing anybody…. But we had to do what we had to do to protect our family and to protect our little kids.” Olbera also told KPRC that her father is a pastor who turned his garage into a church, and he often has people over for services. Olbera expressed regret that the man died, but she was grateful that he wasn’t armed and that no one else was seriously injured. “I’m glad it turned out this way. I’m glad he didn’t have a gun with him. It could’ve been even worse.”
