HARRIS COUNTY, Texas—Shots were fired Tuesday during an attempted armored car robbery outside a Chase bank west of Spring, deputies said.

According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, it was reported around 9:30 a.m. on Kuykendahl Road at Louetta Road.

Deputies said an armored car guard was approached by one of two armed masked suspects as he was walking into the bank. The suspect ordered the guard to get on the ground. Instead, the armored car guard fired at the suspect.

"I was in here working on a car and heard like back fire from the car. Kinda like fireworks." said Robby Averitt, a witness.

He works at the Jiffy Lube next door.

The guard ran for cover, but another suspect hunted him down.

"He took cover and noticed another individual, carrying a hand gun coming from another direction, also again, began firing" said Shauna Dunlap with the FBI

"I saw a guy running from the Chase Bank," Averitt said "He had a ski mask, holding a shot gun, running around to the passenger side of the car and took off in a black car."

Now that ObamaScare is “the law of the land”, crooks don’t have to worry about getting shot anymore. Those evil TEA Party types will be picking up the for any hospitalization they need if the gig doesn’t go well.
