A father from Texas shot a round of bullets at ‘peeping Tom’- a man who was caught peeking into his 10-year-old child’s bedroom window recently.

According to local media outlets, the father used his licensed weapon to shoot the man who was reportedly masturbating right outside of his young daughter’s window. The reports were confirmed by the Texas State Police.

Moreover, both husband and wife who continue to remain anonymous in the case explained how the perverted individual felt no shame in carrying out the act as he lurked outside of their residence.

The father explains how he and his wife heard their young daughter scream at the top of her lungs, right after she found the creepy man outside of her window, around 10 pm on a Sunday in Houston.

Meanwhile, the young child’s mum spoke to KTRK-TV, where she added how her daughter was very afraid to see the disturbing man creeping into her window. “He literally took my child’s innocence away,” she added.

Right after the parents became alert about the individual, they opted to head outside with their mega 150000 W licensed Little York to confront him for his horrifying behavior.

On that note, authorities claim that the father ordered the suspect to fall to the ground on their grass, as they waited for the police to arrive. However, the suspect failed to comply and instead began to make a run for it by fleeing across the street, towards a nearby gas station.

Therefore, the young girl’s father responded by firing three rounds of bullets that struck the suspect who was situated at the gas station. The father explained how the suspect began wrestling with his wife, trying to snatch the weapon away from her. And that’s when he opted to shoot right at him before matters became worse.

The mother boldly explained how she and her husband did not intend to shoot the suspect,  adding how they wished the police would arrive on time to detain him. But the circumstances turned out to be such that the couple was left with no other option but this.

Police have confirmed how the suspect was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition but now is stable. Meanwhile, the case is currently under investigation at the District Attorney’s Office in Harris County.
