A Houston woman fatally shot a man who was allegedly creeping outside her house.

The shooting happened on Friday, September 10, around 11 p.m. in the 8900 block of Irvington in north Houston, KTRK reported.

The woman was in her bedroom when she saw the man looking through window. She then grabbed a rifle and fired multiple times through the bedroom wall.

"She was in fear," Houston Police Lt. R. Willkens told reporters on the scene.

The man attempted to run off, but he was hit in the torso. He staggered away from the window and died a few feet from the house.

Neither the man nor the woman have been identified, but authorities say the man was a stranger to the woman.

Authorities are investigating the shooting, but the woman is unlikely to be charged since police say she was acting in self defense.

Earlier this year a Houston father ran down and shot a man who was caught touching himself outside a 10-year-old girl's window. The suspect in that case lived and is now facing charges for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and indecency with child exposure, KTRK previously reported.
