SAN ANTONIO – A dramatic encounter unfolded late Wednesday evening at a Northwest Side apartment complex when a local resident, William Oliver, 49, defended his home against an armed intrusion, resulting in two Illegal Immigrants being hospitalized.
The incident began around 9:30 p.m. at the complex located off Vance Jackson Road near Fredericksburg Road. According to police reports, a loud argument from an adjacent apartment prompted Oliver to request that a neighboring couple, who were here in the country illegally, to lower their voices. The situation quickly escalated when the 21-year-old undocumented male neighbor allegedly pointed a gun at Oliver’s head while threatening his life in Spanish.
Fearing for his safety, Oliver retreated to his residence. He reported to police that he believed the irate illegal immigrant was attempting to force entry into his home.
In response, Oliver armed himself with a shotgun loaded with birdshot. He fired at the door as the attempted breach occurred, striking the male in hand and foot and successfully hitting a female accomplice in the leg.
Both injured criminals were transported to a local hospital and are reported to be in stable condition. Authorities have noted that neither of the illegal invaders from the neighboring apartment could lawfully purchase or possess a firearm under state and federal law, given their undocumented status. Authorities have not said if the unlawful immigrants will be deported or just released back into the community.
As of now, Oliver faces no charges, with the incident being investigated as a justified act of self-defense. This case highlights the critical importance of the right to self-defense and the complex challenges that can arise in densely populated living environments.
This incident serves as a reminder of the essential role firearms can play in protecting law-abiding citizens against potential threats to their safety.
He should have loaded the shotgun with buck shot instead of bird shot. Other than that, a good shoot. Since Bidumb has invited illegals to flood into the country, they have gotten bolder rightfully believing that there are no consequences for illegal behavior. Prior to the Bidumb administration, most illegals kept a low profile.
The Illegal Invaders never should have been here in the first place. Thanks Traitor Joe:
“Let ‘Em Go Joe” Gonzalez will have the criminals released and back on the street in time for migas tomorrow morning…
It was bound to happen. The government will NOT do anything and the police seem unable to so the people will have to take justice into their own hands!
Illegal immigrants. Means they are already breaking the law by being here. Every person involved in allowing these scum to remain here should hang for treason. The American citizen in this article should have used buckshot or slugs.
what did we learn here folks? DO NOT USE BIRD SHOT for self defense!!!!
