Never bring a knife to a gun fight.
It's appears a Texas home intruder may not have watched the iconic movie "The Untouchables" — which includes a warning of sorts to avoid bringing a knife to a gunfight — because this guy did just that Monday night in Taylor. The city is about 45 minutes northeast of Austin.
The Taylor Press said officers responded to an 11:35 p.m. call about a male with a knife attempting to enter a house in the 2300 block of Donna Drive. As officers were headed to the residence, the paper said the male had entered the house — and that the homeowner shot the male.
Police found a large knife with a sheath featuring a 'Hail Satan' inscription the suspect was carrying.
The Press reported that when police arrived, the suspect had exited the home and was lying on the front porch with a gunshot wound to his hip.
Officers identified the suspect as 23-year-old Austin Sumpter of Thrall, the paper said.
Police found a large knife with a sheath featuring a “Hail Satan” inscription the suspect was carrying, the Press said, adding that the suspect was hospitalized; he's expected to survive.
The paper also reported that police obtained a warrant charging the suspect with burglary of a habitation with commission of felony, which will be served once the suspect is released from medical care.
Commenters on the Press' story on Facebook seemed pleased with the outcome:
