A Texas gun owner defended himself and another woman from a teenager who allegedly tried to rob them at gunpoint in Austin, Texas last week, police announced.
Jaylyn Reed, 17, has now been charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. Reed was already convicted of a series of robberies in 2021. Police say he was released from juvenile detention on May 27 with an ankle monitor, which he cut it off two days later. Reed then committed a series of nine robberies in five days, police say.
Reed reportedly approached the man and woman shortly after exiting a vehicle, which police say contained three other suspects.
"Surveillance video recorded Reed as he exited the vehicle and approached a black male victim and a black female victim," police wrote. "Reed pulled out a handgun and robbed the male victim of his backpack. At the same time, the other suspects in the car moved forward and waited for Reed. Reed moved toward the getaway car while pointing his handgun at the female victim. The male victim pulled out his firearm and fired several shots at Reed and those in the Chevy Malibu in self-defense."
The male victim struck Reed in the leg.
Police located Reed and the other three suspects shortly afterward and applied a tourniquet to Reed's leg before he was taken to the hospital. Authorities recovered a number of stolen items at the scene, including handguns.

So the perp was allegedly attempting? Journalists eh?
there. fixed it.
Hit in the leg?? Dude needs a lot more range time and/or a better weapon. -a friend has a smith and wesson compact single action. It sucks. Ill take a glock any day.
Taking guns away from law abiding citizens would have left this man and woman defenseless against this punk.
“The male victim struck Reed in the leg.”
The same leg where the career animal removed the ankle bracelet. why not shoot at the head or chest? I dont get it. Most targets at the gun range are in the form of a human head, not a leg. Now we have to feed this clown while in the hospital.
In Wilmington DE, people often shoot the leg.
Below the waist isn’t attempted murder…

“Police say he was released from juvenile detention on May 27 with an ankle monitor, which he cut it off two days later. Reed then committed a series of nine robberies in five days, police say.”
The Soros Cronies can explain to his mom as to why he’s now dead.
What about the rest of Delaware?
Don’t know, as I only lived in Wilmington.
I just remember a bunch of stories about blacks shooting each other in their legs. :)
And it was in the 90’s…
I’ll bet Anders is working on a story about a “Texas vehicle owner” who got drunk, crossed the meridian and crashed into a family riding in a van. Friggin’ college diplomas. Most of them aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.
Well, color me surprised, I had no idea. Is this a specific ruling from a court or just general knowledge?
Same ol, same ol.
Right again.
He needs more range time.
If he had killed the kid, it would have given his cohorts some food for thought next time they decided they wanted to rob someone.
Yep...didn’t need to look...again.
General knowledge. I did post after saying that was knowledge from the 90’s, so I might be completely incorrect now.
So don’t go shooting legs in Delaware anytime soon…
If they just obeyed the law in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.......
so lets ignore the root cause and draft up even more laws. (sarc)
Man, just when I think I can get a leg up on someone, they change the rules.
