Man Shoots Chainsaw-Wielding Assailant

posted on June 18, 2015

A homeowner in San Antonio, Texas, caught two men allegedly stealing a chainsaw and nail gun from his property, so he went to confront them. It should have been simple enough—except that one of the intruders took the chainsaw and swung it at its rightful owner. The man fired his gun in response, causing the men to run to their car and drive away.

Police later found that car parked in an alley with the chainsaw-wielding intruder dead inside. They have said it is possible that his accomplice was also shot and are investigating area hospitals.
