A Texas church pastor and his wife, both armed with guns, shot and killed an alleged burglar they caught breaking into their parsonage, police said.
"A preliminary investigation revealed the residents were asleep in their bed when they were awakened by a loud noise. While investigating the cause of the noise, they noticed their backyard gate was opened and saw a male in their back yard," police said in a statement released on Monday. Jeff and Julie Powers called 911 and firefighters responded, finding the mortally wounded man inside the house, police said. He died at the scene, police said.
A Houston Police Department spokesman told ABC News the case will be presented to a Harris County Grand Jury to decide whether charges will be filed.
