Texas man shoots, kills 2, allegedly defending himself at ATM: 'Robbery that didn't go well for robbers'
Fox news ^ | 7/9/23 | Sarah Rumpf-Whiddon

Authorities in Texas believe a man who shot and killed two people was acting in self-defense after two men allegedly attempted to rob him while he was taking money out of an ATM.

In a press conference, the San Antonio Police Department's Chief William McManus said that on Friday, July 7 at approximately 1 p.m., a man in his 20s went to a Chase Bank about 15 minutes from downtown San Antonio, Texas.

Police said that the unidentified man drove up to a drive-by ATM to withdraw money and saw two people drive towards him who attempted to rob him.

He fired at both of the would-be robbers with a handgun and killed them both.

"It was a robbery that didn’t go well for the robbers," McManus shared during the press conference.

It looks like he spent a little more time at the range, than most people do.

Always have your weapon ready, especially at the ATM.

Local news outlet, no ID of robbers or the defender so far.

They call such robbery “jugging” where the victims are followed or surveiled by perps. and they swoop in and rob them when they get the chance or opportunity.

Sage advice. Also have your head on a swivel, park as tightly as you can to the ATM, you don’t want it easy for a thief to get their hands into your window. Make damn sure you have your gun on your lap or in your free hand, have one in the pipe and safety off, this is no time to test your “racking” skills.

Lastly, don’t be stupid, know where you are. If there’s lots of activity around or it’s too dark or your gut tells you to be careful, drive to another.

Check out a picture of the police chief - a WHITE GUY. Very rare for a large city. The guy who wound up defending himself is very, very, lucky.

We should be hearing from the libs pretty soon about how he provoked the two room temperature bearings pieces of crap. How he is a racist that was just looking for a chance to kill innocent black people that were just waiting their turn to use the ATM.

Of course we don’t know the race of anybody involved, but that’s never stopped them before . . .

The right to self-defense wasn’t given by the government, and can’t be taken away by the government. But they are trying. Their goal is to take guns from non-violent people while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

The dead dudes learned their lesson and won’t be doing any more holdups.

There is a reason why stagecoach companies hired a second person to ride shotgun on a stagecoach. And why “shotgun seat” is a term still used.

I personally am happy to know that taxpayer dollars won't be wasted clothing, feeding, housing and putting on trial these criminals.

We need those resources for the criminal illegals!
