JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY’RE POLICE DOESN’T MEAN THEY ARE: Houston Homeowner Shoots and Kills Two Men in Ski Masks Dressed as Police.

“[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that,” said Lt. Khan with HPD.

At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.

The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.

Sounds like a story with a happy ending.
