It was a scene right out of a Wild West movie where the hombres on horseback ride into a Texas border town in the dead of night and gallop down Main Street, firing indiscriminately.
However this was no movie and the horses these thugs were driving was a Nissan Altima and that fabled Main Street was Glenburnie Drive, in North Houston, Texas.

The "SHOOTOUT" began late last Friday night as a Texas homeowner was sitting quietly on his front porch, enjoying the evening when out of the darkness a late-model Nissan Altima appeared roaring down the quiet street towards him, and within a matter of seconds the would-be assailants open fired on the homeowner, spraying the area with over 40-rounds within a matter of seconds.
Miraculously the homeowner escaped uninjured; however what followed next would put Clint Eastwood to shame, within a matter of seconds after that awesome display of firepower, the homeowner reached for his own weapon that he apparently had at the ready and began immediately returning fire at the speeding auto, which swerved and hit a parked car.
Wounded the three thugs exited the vehicle and continued the pitched firefight on foot. The homeowner who is an avid marksman continued returning fire hitting all three, stopping them before they could reach his property.
One of the men was immediately killed at the scene, while the others were rushed to the hospital. A second shooter was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital, while the third is in critical condition battling for his life.
According to news reporters, aside from being an excellent marksman the Texas homeowner is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, and goes to the shooting range regularly and practices his skills with his AR-15, the weapon he usually has by his side when sitting on his porch late at night.
Police are investigating the shooting; however, it's an obvious case of self-defense and another example of why our Second Amendment was created.
The results of this is about what I would expect from a trained person up against common criminals.
Texas - where terrorists get outgunned an an art show.
This happened in May, I wonder why it is being reported like it happened in September?
For later....wonder how many rounds the homeowner fired?
Bookmarking
Or Chicago!
bump for later viewing.
So did the 3rd attacker live?
2 out of 3 ain’t bad!
“The only way this story could have been better...”
Gotta leave one alive to spread the word!
Oh my goodness, that is hysterical! My favorite LEO will love this.
*groan* Nice.
I just wonder why old things are posted, period. Not timely at all.
From the spent cartridges shown in the video, it looks like they were inaccurately firing one or more hand guns, while the homeowner returned fire with aimed shots from an AR. Aimed fire from a long gun wins every time.
"How do you feel about what happened?"
"Would you like to see the person caught, whoever did this?"
It takes a journalist to ask such questions.
When a man with .45 meets a man with a rifle, you said, the man with a pistol's a dead man. Let's see if that's true. Go ahead, load up and shoot.
Don’t mess with Texas!
This is what happens when violent lefty criminals meet a conservative who is lawfully armed and properly practiced in the use of his weapon.
DOH!!!
That is not the real problem.
The real problem is that someone not well informed is likely to try the same thing in a state other than TX.
In my state, for instance, the cops could take the position that once the car has passed, it is not longer a threat to your life and that therefore shooting at it is shooting at a fleeing suspect. Against the law.
And they would add to the charge of second degree murder a charge that you endangered others on the street with your wild unlawful shooting.
The cops here even charged a store owner because he did not stop fighting the robber when the robber got out the door. The fight in the parking lot resulted in serious injuries to the robber so the store owner was charged.
The laws are full of traps, especially in the area of self defense.
I certainly am not defending these stupid laws. Just saying be careful that you know the law.
Here is hoping the third one dies.
