Houston Man Kills Armed Robber

posted on May 2, 2015

An employee of a check-cashing store in Houston, Texas, was walking toward the store’s entrance on Thursday with a bag in his hand when a stranger allegedly came up behind him and pointed a gun at the back of his head. The robber demanded the bag, probably assuming there was cash inside.

The employee, who was only carrying prescription medications in the bag, was able to draw his own handgun and fire four shots, killing his assailant on the spot.
