HOUSTON — A Houston jewelry store owner shot and killed three armed men who tried to rob his business on Thursday, police said.
Two men were in an east Houston jewelry store Thursday afternoon pretending to be customers when a third man burst into the store and stated, “This is a robbery,” said Houston police spokesman Kese Smith.
All three men then pulled out pistols, tied up the store owner’s wife and took her to a back room, Smith said.
As they were trying to tie up the store owner, he took out a handgun from his waistband and fatally shot one of the suspects, Smith said. The store owner then grabbed a shotgun and shot and killed the two other suspects in an ensuring gunbattle, Smith said.
The store owner was shot in the stomach and taken to a Houston hospital, where he was undergoing surgery. His wife was unharmed, Smith said.
The names of the three suspects and the 52-year-old store owner were not immediately released by authorities.
Police are looking for a fourth suspect who may have been the getaway driver and was last seen driving a brown or gold colored vehicle.
And doing nothing about the scumbags entering and harming law abiding Americans seems OK?
At least the court system wont be overloaded and the dead cant sue!
Well Yee Haw!
This is War, Doll.
Hispanic on hispanic crime.

Takin’ care of business!

Houston must have some low skill robbers if three or four of them can’t rob a middle-aged store owner without having their gang wiped out in a gun battle.
Crooks just aren’t the quality they used to be.
What’s the daily limit back there...
This one was hispanics on hispanics.
They tied up his wife and took her to a back room. Probably so the miscreants could have a cup of Joe and a nice friendly chat with her, I’m sure. Try to reflect a bit on how you would feel in her position. Then report back to us.
LOL They are varmints aren’t they, no limit I’d guess.
That’s how you do it.
He’s not laughing. He’s praying for the good guy and celebrating a happy ending.
What else should he be doing?
I mean should we root for the bad guys to kill him, get the loot and maybe rape/kill the wife?
We’ve got to clarify, in our own minds first, what is right and wrong. Killing criminals and being delighted that the good guys won isn’t sick, it’s healthy.
“Balls to the wall jewelry shop owner Ramon Castillo kills two armed robbers from Honduras who seem to be illegal aliens”
That’s my headline
Prayers up for Mr Castillo
Prayers to the shop owner and his family. He did society a real favor.
However, did you notice that he has an Hispanic name, Castillo?
Wonder if the news media picked up on this or chose to ignore it.
Hard-working Hispanics are just as much the victims of Hispanic crime as anyone else, esp. in the US SW and West.
Let’s see if MALDEF, MECHA, La RAZA, the Hispanic Caucus, etc. say anything about this issue? NOT WAITING!!
Ramon Castillo for Houston Mayor...

They’re like hogs, no season, no limit.
Huh? BulletBobco wasn't "laughing at death." He said he liked happy endings (referring to the perps). Perhaps you'd like three thugs to rape and murder you next time.
