HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston police say a husband got into a shoot-out with two gunmen who grabbed his wife and tried to force her inside the couple's house on the city's south side.

Investigators tell Eyewitness News that around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday the man heard noises outside his home on South Acres Drive near Rubin Street.

Basically, a good guy with a gun stopped two bad guys with at least one gun from doing bad things. One of the bad guys is wounded, and in the hospital. The 2nd gunman/bad guy is on the lam, or still running free.

The missing info. What color were the perps? Since they are not named or shown, one has to conclude that they were “of African decent?” Inquiring minds want to know.

I report, you decide:

Nearby Codwell Elementary is 93% black, 5% Hispanic, 1% mixed race and <1% white.

“Nearby Codwell Elementary is 93% black, 5% Hispanic, 1% mixed race and <1% white.”

So I guess this was most likely a Black on Black crime?

For that neighborhood? Yup.

I find it interesting that in the majority of cities, no one really wants to live on MLK street/boulevard.

Yeah, and you should also avoid any area having a “Brotherhood Way!”

I live in South Central Houston, zip code 77025.

Our area has a lot of older folks, so the schools here bus in nonwhites from outside the area.

My neighborhood is maybe 80% white but my local elementary and middle schools are very dark and fairly dangerous.

We also get a lot of bums and crackheads breaking into cars.

Check out this version.

A man exchanged gunfire with two people who were trying to invade his South Acres home Tuesday night, Houston police said.

One of the intruders fled, and the other was shot and injured. He is in serious condition at the hospital, said Lt. Larry Crowson of the Houston Police Department.

The shoot-out happened in the 4300 block of South Acres, just south of Airport and west of Cullen. Around 10:30 p.m., two attackers approached the man’s wife as she was in the driveway and tried forcing her to take them inside the home, Crowson said.

The husband got a gun and pointed it at them, sparking the gunfight. The husband and wife were uninjured, but one of the attackers was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head, Crowson said. The other fled.

Thank you, much clearer than the linked version. Not sure where “journalists” learn to write these days, or if editors can actually read the copy, but 1000 monkeys with word processors could do a better job.

Of course you are correct..

BUT

The bad news here is that the headshot didn’t ‘take’ so ‘we’ will get to pay for the clown for the rest of his life and the second dude got away ...but....

Ten or so years ago Baltimore made a ‘mistake’ and a Fire Academy Class graduated an ALL WHITE class.

While the fair and honest press was interviewing people getting their opinion of the ‘gaffe’ (Funny didn’t interview any Whites <: <:) this sort of large Black Lady said..

‘Honey, I don’t really care what color the guy is who can carry my Black Ass down from a burning building’ (close)

Must have been live because it ‘made the cut’.

OH BTW... the ‘supposed’ word is that Baltimore IMMEDIATELY commissioned another class that was comprised of Non-Whites...... Few can see the ‘problem’ or irony of this move.

“‘Honey, I don’t really care what color the guy is who can carry my Black Ass down from a burning building’ (close)”

That’s the money quote here! If you’re about to die, and the only Dr. around is a Muslim, you’re damned well going to pray he just does what he was trained to do as a doctor.

How True.

Story about a Dr Charles Drew who basically was part of the inventors of how to do blood transfusions or such and he was ‘allowed’ to bleed out after an accident because there wasn’t any ‘Black’ blood around is the popular version but it was NC and it was 1950 and the story about HOW he died is controversial to say the least.

His daughter served as DC Council member for 20 years or so.

Nor on Malcolm X! Chris Rock even said it in his stand up routine! If you are lost and your are on Martin Luther King - RUN!!

Yeah, and you should also avoid any area having a “Brotherhood Way!”

Never thought about that one. In San Francisco, "Brotherhood Way" was designed to be a boulevard for churches and places of worship. Back in the 1950s and 1960s we used it as a drag strip for hot rods, until the city began using the police to bust up the races, and built concrete barriers to stop the races. I used to race my '56 and '63 Chevys there and got caught up in a bust-up by police with the police chief checking out my engine.

Anyway, in the last decade the city broke the rules against non-worship buildings and started planning and building residential housing, ruining the peaceful religious context. It was "Brotherhood Way" long before any "brothers" inhabited it.
