An investigation is underway after two men wearing ski masks and claiming to be police were shot and killed at a home in southeast Houston Friday night, according to the Houston Police Department. HPD said this happened around 11 p.m. at a home on Bellnole Drive, which is off Ahrens Street near Galveston Road. The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.

"[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.

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

FAFO.

Police said the two men were wearing bulletproof vests and had some sort of badge around their necks.

Choice.

HPD Detective Kyle Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.

Take that ICE, you weak-ass wussies!

Let the games begin!

AMEN!

That's what will happen to them at my house if they show up with in masks, without a warrant and reasonable identification. Isn't that what the NRA has been training us to do for decades?

Even my petite wife is comfortable firing the shotgun I bought for her to use if I'm not around and something happens.

Pistol grip, 6 shots, don't even have to aim well to put a hole in a home invader ...

Nonsense! MAGAts love the taste of law enforcement...something.

I'll leave that to your imagination.

Good evening, and good luck.

If you're not using ammunition capable of penetrating body armor, aim for the head/neck or just above the knees.

Femur fractures are debilitating.

@#7 ... The MAGA quandary: Obey the cops or invoke your second amendment rights? ...

I disagree.

The quandary, imo, seems to be:

When masked individuals show up at your front door, and refuse to identify themselves or even show a law-enforcement badge. what do you do?

But, imo, a larger question lurks ~out there...~

Why is Pres Trump apparently trying to normalize this behavior of masked people showing up at your front door?

Any off the shelf 30-06 160grn will go through body armor like it's not there.

Just a suggestion.

There's plenty more :)

It's true.

Body armor and a badge with no genuine authority will get you shot - dead.

Just a reminder to those who think a badge makes you bullet proof.

Lost interest and went to sleep.

Nah, the funny part is that you seem to think you "know" what I know.

Do you really want to be in my mind?

#8 Femur fractures are debilitating.

Shoot for the pelvis, less movement than the legs, a shattered pelvis or hip will take anybody out of the fight.

So is a 2 watt laser pointer in the eye. Non lethal but quite permanent.
