Nacogdoches, Texas – A tragic incident unfolded on Saturday this past week as details emerged regarding a fatal shooting on Rock Oak Street. Nacogdoches, TX, police released a statement providing further information about the incident, shedding light on the events that led to the death of Brandon Horton, a 34-year-old man. The incident has sparked discussions about the growing need for law-abiding Americans to have increased ways to defend themselves and protect their loved ones.
According to the preliminary investigation, Horton arrived at a residence in the 700 block of Rock Oak Street, where a woman and a male friend were present. Horton did not reside at the home and reportedly attempted to gain entry by knocking on the door. When no one responded, he resorted to using a large metal object to forcefully break down the door. Once inside, Horton proceeded to break down a bedroom door where the male resident was hiding.
In an act of self-defense, the male resident discharged his firearm, fatally striking Horton. Both the woman and the male resident immediately contacted emergency services and fully cooperated with the ongoing investigation. As of now, no charges have been filed, but the case will be forwarded to the Nacogdoches District Attorney’s Office for presentation to the grand jury, following protocol.
This tragic incident highlights the importance of self-defense for law-abiding Americans. The right to bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, empowers individuals to protect themselves and their loved ones in situations where their lives may be at risk.
In this particular case, the male resident’s ability to defend himself with a firearm proved crucial in neutralizing the threat posed by the intruder.
It is worth emphasizing that responsible gun ownership, including training and adherence to local laws, is paramount to ensure the safety of both gun owners and those around them. In this incident, the individuals involved acted within the bounds of self-defense, utilizing their firearms to protect their lives and property.
While tragic events like this bring sorrow and grief, they also serve as a reminder of the growing need for law-abiding Americans to have access to effective means of self-defense. As instances of home invasions and violent crimes persist in communities across the nation, citizens must be able to exercise their fundamental right to self-defense.
It is essential for lawmakers, law enforcement agencies, and communities to work together to strike a balance between public safety and individual liberties. By promoting responsible gun ownership, increasing civilian ownership of guns, and providing access to self-defense training, society can empower law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their loved ones.
The shooting incident in Nacogdoches underscores the significance of self-defense in today’s world. As individuals face threats to their safety, having increased ways to defend themselves becomes essential. Respecting the rights of law-abiding Americans to bear arms while advocating for responsible ownership is crucial to strike a balance that ensures both public safety and individual liberties.

I don’t suppose Horton will be attempting home invasions, felonious assault, or anger management issues in the near future. Plus, the residents will enjoy one less serious threat removed from their lives. Another tragedy averted. Text by me and the brain God gave me. (with the help of spell check ;-))
This must be part of that “Green New Deal” the Democrats are worshiping?
Quite simply…Tax $$$ saved.
And quite probably also saved the lives of one boyfriend and one ex girlfriend.
If content producers don’t stop using this GARBAGE AI, I’m going to not read the article. Pretty soon, I won’t read anything here if they don’t stop. Fools.
People who use this technology reminds me of the store clerk who directs you to the self serve check outs. Pretty soon clerks and content producers will be replaced just like gas station attendants.
Where is the “tragedy”? I’m not seeing it.
sounds like the shooter deserves a “major award”

These AI articles are very poor quality. There is more unrelated or marginally related fluff in the article than news. They are ruining the quality of their newsletter.
sounds like a very happy ending to me
Bring back the writer that used to do the self defense articles. AI sucks!
AMEN!!!
Two things I want to know, the last names of the female and the perp. And were they married?
“That does not compute, pffffft!”, AI
the fact that this social misfit is ead is no tragedy. Not at all.
The real tragesy is that this individual was born, then “raised” to hve the mindset and values that drove him to bust into someone else’s home in a violent and illegal manner, disturbing the peace and security of those lawfully present within that private residence. THAT is the real tragedy, that so many such individuals are existing in America.
Big Mischief passed away last night, peacefully, in her sleep. She was only ten years old. It was quite unexpected, and the depth of our grief can not be measured. She loved us so much and we loved her.
She was a large mix breed puppy that needed a home and wondered up to our house. She had a big fat puppy belly and pretended to not want to get caught, but when I picked her up you could tell that she was glad and knew it was her home. She was a little lethargic yesterday, so I let her in the house and air conditioning, but I did not suspect this. When we went to feed her, her paws were crossed and her head was on her paws. Her eyes were closed and her face was peaceful. Almost… Read more »
Thank you for the kind words.
Sorry for your loss, WB. There have many in our lives. The ones that take you by surprise are always the hardest to deal with and the only way that happens is the passage of time. God Bless your family.
You are very kind.
Our last Rottie had cancer too………Even my best friends wouldn’t help me out with that one. I don’t blame them at all. We named her Lexus because she lived for car/truck rides. It was about twelve years ago and that was how old she was when she passed. Still hurts when I am forced to think about it.
I wish there were some way I could absorb your family’s’ pain and anguish at a time like this.
You and Ope are about to make me cry. George, the 14 year old male at my feet right now, is healthy as he can be, but his time here is winding down. He understands almost every word I say. I’ll miss him something terrible when his time comes. But, I’ll take some comfort in knowing that the next place he goes will be better than here on Lucifer’s planet. I sure hope you and yours can do the same. May whatever God you believe in watch over you, and over Big Mischief. All the best, my friends. To happier… Read more »
Thank you.
