HOUSTON — Houston police are looking for tips in a case where they said a driver was surrounded by a group of men on ATVs and bikes and then shot to death.

This happened on Friday night around 7:20 p.m. in the 9000 block of Westheimer Road near Fondren.

According to investigators, the group of men on the ATVs, dirt bikes and bicycles surrounded the 48-year-old driver and even tried opening the driver's doors. Someone then pulled out a gun and fired shots at the driver as he tried to get away, police said.

The driver, who was hit at least once, crashed in the 7400 block of Westheimer near Hillcroft and died at the scene.

Police do not have any details on the suspects and don't know the motive.

Democrats have turned every major US city into a third world crap hole. And the morons who live there keep voting for more of it.

Indeed. Crazy stuff, but unfortunately not just a movie.

Well, the way to stop that is pretty simple: stop incarcerating people.

Yeah. I live about 1.5 hrs from Chicago. Mayor Fish Eyes has done a WONDERFUL job of running it. If my daughter and future son-in-law didn’t live there, I would like to cut it loose, push it out into the middle of Lake Michigan and sink it for the damage it’s politicians have done to this state.Yes I’m in Illinois, land of Lincoln…

St Louis occasionally gets large groups on motorcycles who like to occupy all the lanes of the Interstates. Haven’t heard too much of their being hostile but they do block traffic while they do their antics.

‘Nominally’ bulletproof. Not gonna quibble ballistic details.

The body is 3mm hardened stainless steel, same stuff SpaceX used to build Saturn 5 class rockets. 9mm splatters on it.
The windows are a transparent aluminum ceramic. It will stand up to repeated pounding with heavy steel projectiles (can eventually break, but even then resists penetration).

Hasn’t been evaluated in detail, prototype’s being rare and expensive. Expect someone will buy one just to shoot it up; results will likely be impressive for a $40-70k production truck.

If I’m in my vehicle and surrounded by idiots on ATVs and motorcycles you can bet they would be getting run over if they threatened me.

I also live in Coryell County. I’d probably be at the parade!

Sounds like just the ride one would need to get around in a lawless dystopic environment. Market it as the Apocalypse 3000.

The only thing I could think of when the dumbass was splitting lanes in the stopped traffic was “COME ON, SOMEBODY OPEN YOUR DOOR”!

"I'm sorry about the door, man. Did that hurt? It looked real painful when you slammed into it."

3mm thick body? The weight would be off the charts for a civilian vehicle. Why would they make it that thick?

sounds cool for sure.

I just got on the Tesla website. Wow I want one! All wheel drive of course. So the thick body serves as the frame.

Elon Musk is definitely a visionary.

I plan on buying the top of the line truck with Dog and shiba!

CCFA? The first google search brings up the Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America, and that doesn’t sound right.

Adding firearms didn’t help, it brought up some Canadian organization.

I just saw your post! Forgive me for taking so long to respond!
What I SHOULD have put down was USCCA, for the United States Concealed Carry Association. I’m a member. They are a great organization.I got it mixed up because of some health issues I have and the CCFA is a great organization, too.
PLUS I think I was half asleep….
Apologies to you!
