Two 16-year-olds were shot after they tried stealing an SUV with a married couple and their two babies inside, Texas cops say.
The shooting happened just after midnight on Monday, July 11, in Houston, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
The family had just arrived at their home when the teens walked up to their SUV and opened a back door, the sheriff said.
Gonzalez said the father, fearing for the safety of his family, fired at the 16-year-olds, striking them both.

The wife drove away to get away from the suspects, and another car came up and picked up the two 16-year-olds, the sheriff said.
Both teenagers were taken to the hospital, where they are listed in fair condition, according to Gonzalez. The investigation is ongoing, and the sheriff did not announce any charges against the teenagers.

THAT’S the real question!
No, but when groups file into any establishment these days it’s just wise to be aware. Often Bad guys travel in groups as the news reports every day.
BTW The other person i was with who gave the heads up was head of a security firm.

You mean the people at whom the restrictive gun laws are aimed, don't you?
It's only the NRA they want to un-arm!
