Authorities are piecing together an attempted robbery in north Harris County, where the victim turned the tables on his attackers, who actually turned out to be young children.

According to Major Suarez with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, it happened just after midnight. Responding officers were called to an apartment complex on N Houston Rosslyn off Hwy 249 and found a person with several gunshot wounds. That person was later found to be a young child, whose age wasn’t disclosed as of this writing.

Emergency crews rushed him to a nearby trauma center, where at last check, he was in surgery.

While officers were investigating, and treating the young man, two other young children were found with gunshot wounds. The shooter/victim, an unidentified man, also came to the scene to turn himself in to authorities.

Based on the preliminary evidence officials gathered at the scene, Major Suarez said it appears the man was being robbed at gunpoint by a total of four young kids (between 12 and 14 years old). He then pulled out his gun and turned the tables on his would-be robbers.

Legally a lawful shoot.

These people, referred to as young children, commit crimes believing they are minors who will not be charged as adults for aggravated robbery because they don’t intend on following through with murder. But, their ignorance dooms them when their victims take them seriously and seriously and rightfully defend themselves.

Daniel Penny demonstrated how far "legally" will get you.

Haven’t a shred of sympathy for wrong-doers being shot, regardless of their age. In Chicago, in the 60’s, we had a gang of 12 year old auto thieves who had to add blocks to the pedals of the cars they were stealing to be able to reach them.

The punks just learned the meaning of “double tap”.

Four young “children” (ages 12 to 14) conducting an armed robbery?

No bias in that story, nope none.

Old enough to rob, old enough to get ventilated.

Too bad, so sad.

“Young kids”? I was expecting to see that they were 7 and 8. 🙄
