So check this out… a drunk guy locks himself out of his house and kicks the door down to get in. Problem… he was so drunk, he didn’t realize he was at the wrong house. He was shot dead by the homeowner!

A “highly intoxicated” Texas City man who kicked in the door of a home he apparently thought was his own was fatally shot Friday night by the man who lived there, police said.

Texas City Police Sgt. Curtiss Pope said David Wayne Stewart, 26, was drunk when he left a fast food restaurant Friday night. He then walked in the direction of his home and stopped at a different house in the 900 block of 26th Street, where a 55-year-old woman and 74-year-old man lived, Pope said.

Stewart knocked and banged on the door around 11:30 p.m., and when the resident refused to let him in, Stewart kicked in the door. The resident shot him once in the head, Pope said.

Stewart was dead when police arrived. The case has been referred to the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office without charges.
