Why didn’t he shoot to the left?

I think he was worried about shooting through the neighbours door

Judging by how the door opens after the cops arrive, I don’t think he shot through the door, but had it opened just a crack and was simply firing blindly.

That was quite a gamble.

The shooting, or saying he wasn’t home? Seems like the shooting was pretty justified given they were actively trying to break down his door.

And one of them had a gun in their hand.

The one cop said there were shell casings outside, so they were shooting too

I’m wondering if this is why they shot out their door at an angle instead of straight out. Not very likely for the bullets to go through concrete, but the door across the way? Yeah, a definite possibility. If the guy had that much presence of mind in that situation then good on him.

It’s a definite possibility and so is the resulting liability. However, unless that concrete is a facade or otherwise very thin it will probably stop handgun rounds up to even the .45 caliber size. If he’s using defensive rounds (hollow points), then penetration through concrete is reduced even further as they are made to expand and dump their kinetic energy within a very short distance after the expansion is triggered. The bullet damage to the wall is something he will certainly be liable for though, also his new screen door lol.

See the following for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFwntHIWjaw

For sure a concern, but still seems like a reasonable action given that those guys didn’t look like they wanted to sell Tupperware.

Especially in texas.

At least as far as criminal law goes. However, I’ve heard of some pretty wacky situations where defending your home like this can result in some civil liability.

The gamble was shooting through the door and possibly hitting someone in the apartment across the way.

Hopefully that cholo got perforated and nobody else.
