Would-Be Armed Robbers Held At Gunpoint By Good Samaritan

posted on October 4, 2016

A would-be robbery at a Houston area AutoZone was thwarted by an armed good Samaritan.

According to Harris County sheriff’s deputies, three male suspects entered the store with guns around 9 p.m. Friday night and demanded cash from the register. A customer, who had a concealed handgun permit, saw the incident unfolding as he drove up to the store and decided to step in and help.

The customer pulled out his firearm and ordered all three men to drop their weapons and get on the ground, holding them until deputies arrived on the scene.
