HOUSTON—A grand jury will decide whether to press charges against a pregnant woman who, police say, shot and killed a burglar. The ordeal began when the unidentified woman saw a group of men allegedly breaking into cars at her apartment complex on Pinemont in northwest Houston late Monday night.

When the group moved on to her car, the woman, who is eight-months pregnant, said she fired a shotgun from her balcony. Police say, one of the men, a 19-year-old, died at the scene.

Why would she even be charged? She was protecting her personal property. Besides, when a person decides to lead a life of crime, they knowingly put themselves at risk of being shot and killed. Let me be clear about this. I am not saying that someone who steals a car stereo or even a whole car deserves to be shot and killed. I am just saying that someone who engages in criminal activity puts themself at risk of bodily harm or death. By doing so, the criminal has waived their right to complain, sue or have charges brought against their 'attacker.'
