Nice shooting.

Heck yeah. 3 for 3 in a moving vehicle while the defender is under fire.
Not bad at all.
HOUSTON (KTRK) — Two people are dead and one is in the hospital after a homeowner fired back during a shooting in North Houston.
Investigators say early Saturday morning a suspect vehicle drove up to the homeowner’s house on Glenburnie Drive and started shooting.
The homeowner was outside at the time and he hid behind a bush in the yard and returned fire. Officers say more than 40 shots were fired in the exchange.
The homeowner struck all three men inside of the car. The driver of the car crashed after the shooting hitting a car and then running into a yard. One suspect died at the scene. The other two fled on foot but didn’t make it far. They went to the hospital. One of the suspects died at the hospital. The other suspect underwent surgery for his gunshot wounds. Detectives did not have an update on his current condition.
Miraculously, the homeowner was not struck by the gunfire. He was taken to the police station for questions. He has not been charged. Preliminary officers said it appeared to be self-defense.
On Friday, the day before the shooting, officers said arson investigators were called to the same home after someone attempted to set the home on fire. Officers believe the home was targeted based on both of those incidents.

Love a happy ending, good shootin’.
That’s called “learnin’ the hard way.”
No description of the perps (dead or otherwise).
Why do I suspect that the suspects were holding Glock 40’s sideways, not using their sights and the victim aimed 3 shots from an M4?
Glad I don’t live in that neighborhood.
Wonder what the homeowner was shooting? If he was waiting for a return of arsonists from the night before he should have had a home defense 12ga with buckshot and a 30 round semi auto rifle with spare mags. The 40 rounds could have been mostly those of the homeowner in just a few seconds.
People in Houston will be so sorrowful for the three who were shot!
No kidding. It’s almost as if he fired first. Almost.
Wonder what started the whole thing. This wasn’t a random driveby .

The force is strong with this one
So why was this guy outside his home at night with a gun? Seems like there is more here
Safe assumption perps were black males.
Someone tried to set his house on fire prior.
Officers believe the home was targeted based on both of those incidents.
Wow! Some real Dick Tracy’s there.
