HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Police say a store owner shot and killed three suspects during an attempted robbery of his jewelry store.
Police were called to Castillo Jewelry on Canal Street and North Hagerman Street around 2pm after two customers had entered the store inquiring about some jewelry. A third customer entered with a gun, then stated it was a robbery.
The two customers then pulled guns and pushed the owner's wife to a back room, tying her up. As they tried to force the owner back as well, the owner was able to pull a handgun and shoot and kill one robber. He then pulled a shotgun that killed the remaining two suspects.

I guess that the perps didn’t count on the owner being combat effective.

shotguns usually do the trick, not many stories where you here someone survived being shot with a shotgun. Probably just to many darn holes to patch em up.

Pure self defense. The husband/store owner did what he had to do to save their lives.
The perps had already tied up the wife and she and her husband could identify the perps - if the husband hadn’t acted, both he and his wife would have been murdered.

Musta been a lot of rounds fired if the hero had drop his pistol while under fire and get his shotgun. Must have emptied the hand gun and was lucky to have the back-up piece handy.
It'd be interesting to hear a round-by-round account of the action.
Three against one. Damn...

He needs to get the “Joe Horn” Award of Public Service.
Joe shot a couple of perps for those not familiar.

What is significant, in my small mind, is that only the bad guys got hit.
Hit and killed.
I have a Beretta that could kill the bad guys, and everyone else (by mistake) in one room and the next...
It is all about “gun control” and balls.
Not firepower.
