An armed Texas couple got into a shootout with two would-be robbers at a gas station Tuesday, wounding one of the suspects, according to police. The chaos erupted after a woman saw two men get out of separate cars with guns in the parking lot of the gas station in north Houston around 5:30 p.m., police told Fox 26.
The woman, who was armed, called her husband, who was also packing heat, to alert him of the danger while he was inside the store, cops said.
While the two suspects were trying to rob the place, one of the men threatened to kill the husband and hit him with a pistol and a gunfight broke out, police said. One of the suspects was shot multiple times and the other fled in a green Dodge Charger.

The robbers would have had better luck in California.
Not sure if there are any Houston FReepers.
Not exactly the same demographic...
“...their weapons were recovered.”
That’s yer problem rite there, ..even in TX
bttt
Frankly, if I defended myself or my property with a gun, I probably wouldn't call the cops. Both me and my gun would leave the scene of the shooting and live happily ever after.
I’m not in Houston, just a bit North in Conroe.
It still amazes me that people do that down here as most folks have firearms.
It is usually confined to the areas south of I-10, but it’s been creeping up towards Montgomery County more and more.
With the exception of the Gunspoint Mall area, That’s always been a cat box.
An older Green Charger to be sure in the background.
Not bad. There are worse choices of getaway vehicles.
Satans animals need to be gotten rid of by armed up American citizens! ..... imho
Correct, Advertise that aLl CRIMINALS will be safer in californicate. and suggest they move there.
A better example was Frank Hamer and his wife had a couples shootout over in Eastland Tx against a local crime family…. At a gas station.
the comments are more conservative than the free republic!
I’ve been shopping for a home in Conroe. Do you recommend it?
A family that slays together stays together
I like Conroe, but it has gotten very busy, the influx of people over the past 5 years is very noticeable.
Traffic is horrible.
The good thing is that between Conroe and The Woodlands, and even Huntsville, there is everything you need and you never really have to go to the garbage can called Houston.
If you are from out of State, I would say visit during the summer. If you can Handle this place at its worse, then the other 8 months will be enjoyable.
5:30 PM in June is broad daylight, but then again it is Houston.
I think they really got the ball rolling after the Katrina transplants moved in.
(I don’t think I need to say more :^/ )
“Texas has a very stupid law “ Failure to Report Felony” where you must immediately report the commission of a felony to law enforcement. Failure to do so is Class A misdemeanor. PENAL § 38.171”
Be interesting if they applied it to ‘Pride’ parades, at least if they’re like the ones in California where they don’t even bother wearing clothes in front of kids.
“Frankly, if I defended myself or my property with a gun, I probably wouldn’t call the cops. Both me and my gun would leave the scene of the shooting and live happily ever after.”
Understandable, but keep in mind there are PLENTY of cameras, license plate cameras, cell phone, plus the undisclosed methods of using DNC (as they did with the Idaho killings) these days, and so getting caught that way would make you look quite suspicious to the police.
Also don’t forget the general rule with shootings - whoever calls the cops first will usually look like the good guy, at least in the eyes of the cops.
