SAN ANTONIO -- George Shandy had had enough.

Following a recent burglary at his mother's vacant home on the near East Side, Shandy decided to take matters into his own hands.

On Tuesday night, he waited inside the home in the 1800 block of Dawson, armed with a 9 mm handgun.

Homeowner: 'I'm Just Protecting My Goods'

He knew someone would be back for more, after all, the china cabinet had been stolen earlier in the day and the front door was left open with the washer and dryer not far from it.

At 9:30 p.m., two men broke into the home, not realizing what awaited them, police said.

"When he turned the light on, I popped up out of the bedroom with my gun and told them to get down on the floor until the police came," Shandy said.

Police arrived a few minutes later and took the two men into custody.

On Saturday night, Shandy shot a man who broke into the home.

The man was wounded in the arm and was arrested and charged with burglary.

Shandy said he isn't a vigilante, he's just a son protecting his mother's property.
