Texas CHL Holder Fights Off Attacker

HOUSTON — A robbery victim turned the tables on his attacker in a grocery store parking lot, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Houston police said a gunman approached a man as he got out of his vehicle at the HEB store at Gulfgate on the South Loop East near the Gulf Freeway at about 10 p.m.
The gunman demanded money from the man, police said. The man decided to fight back.
“The complainant was able to draw his own weapon and shot and killed the suspect,” Sgt. Robert Odom said.
The gunman died at the scene. Detectives are working to determine if he had an accomplice.
“The suspect attempted to get into a car but fell out the door,” Odom said. “He didn’t get all the way in, so we don’t know if this guy was involved or if it was a situation where the suspect just tried to jump in his car.”
Investigators said several people witnessed the shooting.
The man was taken in for questioning, but no charges have been filed against him. Police said he had a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Police said patrols in the area would be increased to keep shoppers safe.

Once again, one citizen with a gun has protected himself and society.
