Awful reporting. How do we know robbery was the motive? What guns were used, what caliber, how many shots were fired? What speed?

Terrible lack of detail.

The poor fish!

(LOL! Why in the heck is that in the story?)

[Tijeras_Slim]

Texas Somalis not clear on the concept.

The man in the pickup truck returned fire, officials said.

Good story though.

One of the men inside the car was killed. The driver of the car stopped at a gas station on North Shepherd Drive for help.

Of coarse they were assault weapons As weapons are always the cause of the crime and therefore assaulting.
Plus they did not have a picture of an AK-47 handy at the time of the report to display, even though it was probably a 9-mm hand gun.

It’s always a great day when you can start off reading such a heartwarming story. Absolutely no sarcasm intended.

This perfectly illustrates the benefit of the concealed weapon law in Texas.

[Lancey Howard]

The report sounds like a grden-variety road rage incident. NOTHING in the “report” provides evidence that there was an attempt to steal the boat. Wow. That is some lame “reporting”.

I guess the moral to the story is watch out in Texas when using people for target practice they shoot back.

Shootout In NW Houston Leaves One Dead

Wednesday, April 08, 2009 | 9:29AM

A shootout between two vehicles ended with one dead and two others in the hospital.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A driver fought off alleged would-be robbers by shooting into their car while chasing them overnight.

One of them happened on Shepherd near West Little York in northwest Houston. Police found one person dead and two others wounded inside a white vehicle around 1am in the area near I-45 and Beltway 8

Authorities say the people inside the car were allegedly trying to rob the individuals inside the truck pulling a boat. Police say the suspects fired towards the truck and the truck driver fired back and then began chasing the suspects.

Four people were inside the white car and three of those people were shot. One person died and the two others are in a hospital undergoing surgery.

Authorities say they found weapons inside the car. Police say they have talked to the intended robbery victim. The case will likely be sent to a grand jury to determine if any charges will be filed against the truck driver.

It’s Houston journalism at it’s finest.

Who’s for taking up a collection to send the driver of the pickup truck over to rescue Captain Phillips?!?

Because HolyO has absolutely NO intention of rescuing an American citizen, might hurt his Islamic ‘friends’ (they aren’t pirates, they’re just misunderstood fishermen!) feelings! Plus I think he’s waiting for his Imam’s permission to act!

Land pirates AAARRRGGGHHH

Land piracy, properly managed.

It was a militant PETA group trying to rescue the Fish!

[MARTIAL MONK]

Terrible lack of detail.

What kind of fish?

How big?

What was he using for bait?

They left out the important stuff.
