Wow. If there's anything that'll warm the cockles of your heart on a cold January day, back-to-back righteous shootings have to rank pretty high up the scale...

Dallas burglary suspect fatally shot

DALLAS -- A suspected burglar died Wednesday from wounds received in a shoot-out in the 300 block of West Hobson Avenue, according to authorities.

A man in his early 50s stopped at his mother's house to drop off a news paper when saw the front door kicked in and found a 17-year-old male inside. The man's mother left the residence earlier in the day.

The teen, Gabriel Flores, drew a gun and pointed it at the man, and the son -- who has a concealed handgun license -- drew his gun, police said. Flores fired and the son shot back, striking Flores once, police said. He died shortly after arriving at an area hospital, police said.

You mess with the bull, you get the horns. No tears need be shed for this vicious little bastard; let us hope that there will be a happy ending for the gentleman who ended his criminal career. Although the story does say "The case will likely be referred to a grand jury", this is Texas, after all, and we would expect the shoot to be ruled clean...
