COLUMBUS, Texas -- Two bank robbery suspects were shot in Colorado County Thursday night by a man who said they kidnapped him and his wife, a bank employee.
According to the Colorado County Sheriffs Office, the couple had been held at gunpoint by the suspects inside their home just north of Columbus. They were then forced to drive to the First National Bank of Eagle Lake in Columbus.
The suspects then forced the woman to take out an undisclosed amount of funds, investigators said.
We believe they had knowledge that she was an employee of the bank for them to be at the residence and to take her back, Sgt. Andrew Weido with the Columbus County Sheriffs Office said.
He said the suspects then forced the husband to drive them in his truck south down Highway 71, and that's when the husband of the bank employee was able to gain access to a firearm inside the vehicle.
He fired at the suspects near County Road 101. Authorities then responded to a 911 call from the scene at 7:30 p.m. with the Columbus Police Department arriving first.
When they arrived, officers found the two suspects with gunshot wounds lying on the ground near a pickup that was parked in a ditch.
One of the wounded, 20-year-old Jordan Kutach, was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition. The other, 21-year-old Preston Kutach, was taken by EMS to the Columbus Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Aw, heck. He could have walked.
“If I had sons, they would look like the Kutach boys”, well in spirit anyway. Pres -O-
;)
“That guy just LOOKS really stupid”
Do you think he hopes to get a woman by looking like that or that he hopes to BE the woman?
hard to tell
He was just trying to get enough money to get a hair cut???
anything is possible I guess
I was thinking sex change operation.
great job by the guy, one of the bastards ain’t getting up and the other one will be charged with murder since the other one died.
I figured I’d set mine as the same number backward.
Well, they’re just as much like him as Trayvon was. Half black, half white, what’s the difference?
Eagle Lake is over by Houston// Rosenberg kinda... You sure you aren’t thinking of Eagle Pass?
And Eagle Lake is a pretty poor community.. Lots of Government moochers living there Lots of Government housing.
Columbus on the other hand has a lot of older homes built after the Runaway Scrape... Nice community... I just know cause I work in both of these towns.
Yes, I was thinking of Eagle Pass. lol
Did the guy run out of ammo before he could finish killing the second suspect.
They Both died...one on the way to the hospital in houston the other in Columbus.
I can't find ANY information that they both died....can you give me source?
I'm trying to use this case in my CCW course email list.
EMT from Columbus told me so.
Look in the Columbus papers or the Eagle Lake paper
