Mom finds accused sex offender hiding in home, son shoots him in the face

[Madmallard]

A mom in Texas made a stunning find when she discovered an accused sex offender hiding under the stairs of her house -- and after a fight, her son shot the man in the face, an arrest warrant revealed Tuesday.

The family's barking dog first alerted the mother to the suspect, 56-year-old Leonard Trevino, hiding under the stairs outside the San Antonio home last week, KENS reported.

Trevino burst out with a gun and demanded the family let him into their home, according to the warrant. The son ultimately shot the suspect, who was beating him on the head with a pipe-like object, investigators said.

Article i read yesterday said the intruder was armed and shot w/ his own weapon.
If thats the case why is no one mentioning how the sex offender got a gun. Must have went through all the steps us law abiding citizens do to "keep everyone safe"

Accused sex offender, meaning no convictions.

Don't matter.

"Trevino burst out with a gun and demanded the family let him into their home, according to the warrant"

I hate the news, he's outside under the stairs if I read correctly why does the headline say inside?

 

[1911guy]

Maybe he was inside when he got shot. Who knows? News stories are rarely accurate of complete

we know that family. it is true the son took away the armed sex offender"s gun as they were fighting and shoot him in the face. The son did not have a gun of his own on him. The sex offender is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and retaliation. See the Blaze network article of this event. This is the absolute best we can ask of our sons, to save his mom and family inside. The dad was not at home at the time.
