An armed robber was shot in the face in Texas when his victim pulled out his own gun and shot at him, just days after a Texas law went into effect allowing residents to carry handguns without permits.
"He was shot in the face one time. He’s at the hospital. He’s going to live. He’s conscious and breathing right now," Houston Police Department Lieutenant R. Willkens said.
The incident unfolded Wednesday evening in Houston when the victim was walking to a local Shell gas station to make a few purchases, SBG San Antonio reported.
The suspect in the case was dropped off around the same time, and approached the victim by lifting his shirt to expose a gun and demanded he fork over any valuables.
The victim, however, was also armed and pulled out his weapon and shot the suspect in the face. The suspect is in the hospital and in police custody.
Additionally, no charges are expected to be brought against the victim, as he was defending himself.

Well done. A few hundred more like this, and maybe we can start to make some progress in this town.
For those familiar with Houston, it happened at the Shell at Airport and Monroe near Hobby. I've been there a few times, and wouldn't visit it unarmed (if I ever went out in public unarmed).

Excellent. It's not too often you see such immediate good results from government action.

The vic also remains in custody as of the time of the report. Shot must have been through the cheek or something. I think in cases like this, the shooter should be given a free box of ammo and use of the police range for some practice.

Shot in face and alive. Maybe needs a bigger gun.

Every armed robber should be shot in the face while attempting armed robbery.
To: The Pack Knight
So nice to read some happy news!
Just a little better gun control and maybe next time the taxpayers can skip the hospital bills.

The suspect ... approached the victim by lifting his shirt to expose a gun ... .
Amazingly, that part missed being in the headline, but the victim being armed didn't.

He may have doubled up on the paper masks. If they can stop the deadly coronavirus maybe they can slow down a .25 round.
