A father eating a meal with his family at a Texas Popeyes shot and killed a robber who threatened him and his wife and children with a gun.

Carlos Molina, 32, was eating at a San Antonio Popeyes with his family around 9pm on Wednesday when Andres Herrera, 19, walked in to the fast food restaurant and demanded his money and belongings at gunpoint.

Molina told Herrera that he had no money - because he spent it on the meal - and asked the teen if his family could leave, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

All the HYPER LibS need be quiet!

Taking out the trash!

I disagree. I’ve tried to give Popeye’s the benefit of the doubt, but their food tatstes bad, small portions, and high prices. Tried three different locations—they’re all the same. Blah.

"Molina, a licensed handgun owner, quickly pulled out his own gun and shot Herrera several times, killing him, police say."

Rename the place, Popeye Molina’s Fried Chicken, and give his family a lifetime of free chicken.

"Good chicken. Bad neighborhood."

So goes MLK Street, so goes Popeyes...

Still not as good as Bojangles though.

For the record...... my friend who lives a tad north of San Antonio sent photos of snow on the ground yesterday

Protecting self, family, friends, innocents. This right was not given to us by the gov, and it cannot take it away.

Molina, his wife, and two of their children, prepared to leave, but had to wait for two more of his children who were still in the bathroom.

When they walked out into the dining room, Herrera pointed the gun at them, authorities say.

Molina, a licensed handgun owner, quickly pulled out his own gun and shot Herrera several times, killing him, police say.

Officer said that Molina shot in defense of a third person, and the incident remains under investigation.

"...in defense of a third person..." - those were his children!

Good news. But what kind of parent has his children out eating at 9:00 pm on a school night?
