Oops, Wrong House: Two men kicked in the door of a house in Texas.
Alerted in advance by his dog, the homeowner recovered his shotgun from
his bedroom. Compounding his error, one of the burglars turned to fire
at the homeowner as he ran from the scene and was hospitalized with a
gunshot wound. (A plus is awarded the homeowner for having a dog to
alert him, a minus for needing to go to another room to retrieve his
firearm.)
