ATASCOCITA, Texas – A teenager is recovering from a gunshot wound after he was shot during a home invasion in the Humble area.
According to police, the 17-year-old and his brother were at home when they heard a knock at the door around 8:30 p.m. Monday at the Eagle Crest apartment complex near Astascocita Road and Timber Forest.
When the second brother opened the door, several men wearing gloves and ski masks forced their way in at gunpoint and demanded belongings, police said.Â
