I’m always pleased to see stories like this one.

A homeowner who saw his wife threatened at gunpoint by an intruder wrested the gun from the man, killed him and wounded another intruder, police said.

The incident happened early today after two men kicked open the front door of the couple's home in this Fort Worth suburb.

Keith and Kellie Hoehn told police the men burst into their house and one of them pointed a shotgun at Mrs. Hoehn's head. She brushed the barrel aside, and a struggle ensued.

The husband got control of the gun and shot both men. The man who survived is being treated at a Fort Worth hospital.

I’ll be honest – the only problem I see here is that one of them is still breathing, and likely being treated in that hospital at taxpayer expense.

Here’s hoping that the story is widely publicized and has a salutary effect.
