(Newser) – When deputies arrived at a mobile home in Channelview, Texas, on Monday morning, three men were dead outside—and their car was still running in the driveway. Police say a resident opened fire on the men with a shotgun during an attempted burglary or home invasion in the Houston suburb, ABC13 reports. Cesar Lopez tells KPRC that his cousin, Yair Gallegos, was shot in the back and leg during an exchange of fire with the three men. Lopez says he does not believe his cousin knew the men and it’s not clear why the home was targeted. Gallegos was hospitalized Monday in serious condition.
