Local Police: Store owner kills three suspects

ABCLocal-Houston:

Police say a store owner shot and killed three suspects during an attempted robbery of his jewelry store.

Police are calling the jewelry store owner a hero. They say in all likelihood, he probably saved his wife's life. They say he shot and killed three armed robbers after they tried to steal from him.

Police were called to Castillo Jewelry on Canal Street and North Hagerman Street around 2pm. Police say two of the suspects came into the store and asked about a ring. While the owner and his wife were helping them, a third person came into the store, pulled out a gun and said he was robbing the store.

That's when the other two suspects pulled out guns as well. They forced the wife into a back room and tied her hands with plastic wiring.

The owner was able to grab a handgun that he kept for protection as the suspects were trying to tie him up. That's when he shot and killed one of the suspects. The owner then grabbed a shotgun and shot and killed the other two suspects, but not before they managed to shoot him in the shoulder and abdomen. He was taken to Ben Taub Hospital where he's undergoing surgery.

"They broke in his place once, and they robbed him another time," said neighbor Dan Montoya. "He was ready."

"....Police are searching for a possible fourth suspect who was operating as a getaway driver. He's been described as a Hispanic man in his 20s..."

 

I wonder what their immigration status was?

Fortunately, no innocent people were seriously hurt, but if this had happened in NY, Chicago, or DC, could the same be said? This jewelry store owner deserves a medal, and is living proof of why the 2nd Amendment is necessary despite what leftwing gungrabbers whine about every gunowner being another 'Dirty Harry' or whatever.
