A gas-station shootout in Houston took an unexpected turn after a woman trying to flee the scene hit and killed a man who was allegedly trying to rob someone else, according to local police.

On Thursday afternoon, a man approached someone at a Chevron gas station who was selling hair extensions and tried to rob him, according to news station KTRK. The man selling extensions grabbed his gun and a shootout started.

"The suspect ran through the parking lot. There was a female that was in her car, and I believe she had a child in the car," Houston Police Department Lieutenant Larry Crowson told KTRK. "She was extremely scared. She accelerated at a high rate of speed to get out of the parking lot and avoid the shootout. She struck the suspect, and he's under the car here behind me."

That’s a shame.

See, just some feral white people selling powdered wigs and tri-cornered hats, I shall say! Probably arguing over a tax on tea!

The shooters family will now sue the woman driving the car.

That line came off as kind of funny to me.

Thieves need to start realizing that people in Texas are now armed.

I’ll see those people in August. I’m vacationing in Colonial Williamsburg.

“That’s not a weapon. Now this,” (revving the engine), “THIS is a weapon.”

Typical for a Houston gas station.

Isn’t this Sheila Jackson Lee’s district?

I like a happy ending.

My understanding; the shooter was the guy being robbed by the now dead guy under the car.

LOL!

The article says the suspect was killed so I’m guessing he was the robber since in Texas, you’re allowed to legally defend yourself with a firearm.

So what happened to the child?

Sounds like a remake of Death Race 2000
