Police were investigating whether a man accidentally shot and killed his roommate while trying to fend off armed robbers Wednesday morning at their apartment in San Antonio, Texas.
Television station KENS reported that the man appears to have also shot and killed one of the intruders, though police said a second robber escaped and was still on the loose.
The San Antonio Police Department said armed culprits forced their way into the apartment shortly after 2 a.m. local time and demanded cash. The tenant then opened fire, the television station reported.
The roommate died at a local hospital shortly after the incident.
Clearly his roommate should have been armed, that way this all would have been avoided.

If you’ve ever had a roommate from hell, this headline makes a bit more sense.
The death of the roommate is felony murder to be charged to the home invaders. I have zero problem with a gun being used for self-defense inside of a home against armed robbers. I have problems with the idiots who are carrying the guns on the street.
Maybe the roommate should have been wearing a hat with flashing lights and sign ‘Don’t shoot me Bro’? < sigh >
Wayne sez this is the kind of world we just have to live in.
Wayne sez we NEED all the guns we can get to keep us save from ni(CLANG)…uh…home invaders.
Wayne sez…what? The roommate is what?
Never mind.
