A team of armed carjackers in Houston allegedly targeted the wrong person and one ended up getting shot in the neck after a shoutout with the intended victim.The Harris County Sheriff's Office said that they believe the same armed carjackers had previously shot a victim in another incident earlier Tuesday. That victim, who is in his 50s, said he was approached at a 7-Eleven gas station by two or three males attempting to take his truck. When he fought back, they shot him in the abdomen.

Police responded to another shooting scene only 30 minutes later and about five miles from that incident.

In the second incident, several males also reportedly approached their would-be victim and tried to take their vehicle at a Chevron gas station. That person grabbed a gun and shot at them, striking one in the neck, according to the 911 call. Police said the other males fled the scene. That suspect was hospitalized. Police believe they are a part of a team of teenage carjackers. They are seeking the public's help in identifying suspects who were driving a dark sedan, either a Chrysler or a Dodge.

Something is missing in the story. I can't quite put my finger on it.

“They were driving a “dark” sedan.” You couldn’t possibly mean the race of the perps, could you? Nah. Didn’t think so. The Media never ever mentions race in relation to crime. Especially when it involves White Males.

The suspect who was shot in the neck is also in stable condition.

Pity.

It’s there but you have to decode. See post #3.

Those “teens” and their “gun violence” are really something.

That’s why a .380 is useless.
At a minimum carry a 9mm with some DRT ammo.

"Something is missing in the story. I can't quite put my finger on it."

The usual, plus what will happen to the victim and his firearm? Will he be charged for defending himself?

Yup, a stick shift is the best car theft protection device available. Unfortunately, they are getting harder and harder to find.

Beware of Texas shout-outs. Those things get dangerous if shots are ever fired
