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."

What kind of car?
In my mind's eye, a 1949 Buick Roadmaster would seem perfect for the job.

Wow. This story has it all.A shoot out at McDonald’s in Houston. A man selling hair weve products nearby. A robber robbing someone else also going on. A panicky mother hits the gas, then runs over and kills the robber. Gee. I wonder if there is a unifying demographic aspect tying all these people together?

So why would the shooter’s family sue the woman who drove over the guy who was trying to rob him?
Because he missed out on the opportunity to hit the robber?
Maybe your joke is over my head?

I suspect we will find that the hair extensions were stolen in a robbery a day or two ago.
The only good deed in this story is the woman who inadvertently ran over one of criminals on site.

Story says hair guy pulled gun on robber; then a shootout started. Sounds like both had guns & were shooting.
She just happened to run over the right shooter; ergo, a possible (unfounded) “wrongful death” suit by his family.
