   BAYTOWN, Texas -A pastor shot an alleged burglar at his church   
   Tuesday morning in Baytown, Texas, police say.   
      
   Pastor Benny Holmes was asleep in his office at around 6 a.m.,   
   when he heard the alleged intruder, said Baytown Assistant Chief   
   Roger Clifford.   
      
   "We have some exterior video, which we'll be releasing later   
   today, showing the perpetrator forcing his way inside the   
   church," Clifford said, adding that the alleged burglar made a   
   "loud commotion" that woke Holmes up.   
      
   "He retrieved his pistol, he went to investigate, and basically   
   he saw the suspect leaving with some electrical equipment,"   
   Clifford said.   
      
   Holmes told police that the suspect, Lee Marvin Blue, 27, turned   
   aggressively toward him and he fired a shot, striking Blue in   
   the shoulder.   
      
   The suspect was airlifted to a hospital, reports CBS affiliate   
   KHOU. He is expected to survive and police say he will be   
   charged with burglary.   
      
   Holmes previously made national headlines in September 2014,   
   when he caught 52-year-old Laura Ferguson allegedly stealing a   
   package from his porch.   
      
   The pastor held the woman at gunpoint until police arrived.   
   Clifford said before that incident, Holmes had experienced a   
   series of package thefts, so he crafted a trap for Ferguson.   
      
   "He baited the front porch with a parcel and sure enough he saw   
   the female come for it. It was good work," Clifford said.
