Typical ABC news report of alleged robbers being shot multiple times by alleged victim.
Now the real story:
Robbery Suspect Tries to Hold Up Group of Texans With Toy Gun, Quickly Learns They Carry Real Ones
Dec. 14, 2015 9:43am Jon Street
A robbery suspect with an aerosol gun was shot several times with a real gun after he tried to hold up a group of coworkers in Texas early Sunday.
Police say four people were leaving work at a Houston nightclub when three men pulled up in a white car, two of the men with guns drawn. But the robbery suspects learned the hard way that Texans pack real heat after one of the four would-be victims reached into his car, pulled a gun and began shooting.
He said, Give me your money. I do not carry cash so I gave him my card and my ID. As soon as he slapped out of my hand, my brother stepped out of the car, shot them both twice in the chest, the guy fell to the ground, I ran to him, kicked him in his face, grabbed his gun and it turned out to be a fake gun, one of the victims told KTRK-TV.
It was not even a real gun, the victim added.
I wonder if this is the same incident?
Similar time and location.
Reporting is significantly different.
Unfortunately they managed to get a real pistol , as one was in the purse that they stole.
Especially for two would-be robbers who use a fake gun to attempt a hold-up.
Dummies.
If your post is accurate, sounds like a good shoot to me.
The alleged robber could be totally innocent so you need to say alleged because you want to be fair to the poor guy.
The other fellow? He pulled a gun! He started shooting! Bang! Bang! Bang! Nothing alleged about that.
CAn I be the first to say I hate getting shot in the Houston!
Nothing hurts worse than being shot in your Houston.
“Houston . . . we have a problem. . . “ LOL!
Stunned in Houston?

Aerosol gun? The kind of device one can attach to a can of spray paint to make it easier to use?
