Homeowner Saves Self, Intruder Ruins Glass Door; Pants

FRIENDSWOOD, Texas- Police said a woman shot at an intruder, scaring him directly through a glass door. (more details)

Officers with the Friendswood Police Department said they responded to a residence in the 400 block of Regency Court after a homeowner shot at a man that had broken into her home.

The woman said that at about 11:15 a.m. on April 12, she awoke to a loud noise followed by her alarm system sounding. She then heard footsteps going up to her second floor.

The woman said she grabbed her pistol and walked into the living room where she saw a man standing in her house. She fired a shot in the man's direction, which sent him running through -- and shattering -- a glass door as he fled the scene.

The homeowner was not hurt.

No word on if the intruder soiled himself.
