SAN ANTONIO -- Investigators say a Bexar County deputy opened fire on some burglars early Monday.

The shooting happened around 5:30 a.m. Monday at a home in the 1400 block of West Summit Avenue. News 4 WOAI was told the off-duty deputy was sleeping when he heard someone trying to break into his truck. He confronted two to three suspects and ended firing several gunshots at them. The suspects fled in a red SUV.

It's not known if any of the suspects were hit.

AztecWarrior - according to the law you can shoot someone for breaking in who is attempting to steal your property it does not say anywhere in the law they have to be facing you. Maybe we should sit you down and have you take the public servent examination oh wait you would fail.

No doubt. Where did 'several gunshots' end up lodging themselves into. Hey sleepyhead, er, Barney Fife, wake up a little bit before you go pointing your pistola into the cold night air.
