A couple of nights ago a Houston man was injured after being carjacked at a gas station. He wasn't injured by the assailants, he was injured by the responsible gun owner who decided to open fire on the
fleeing suspects.
Houston police said around 11:15 p.m. Saturday, two men attacked another man who was parked in the Valero parking lot near Jensen Drive and Caplin Street.
When the assailants attempted to take his truck, a witness parked at the gas pump started shooting at the men, according to authorities.
Police said he accidentally shot the victim in the head.
According to
KHOU:
The victim was transported to a nearby hospital where he remains in stable condition. Police say the witness who shot at the suspects picked up shell casings and left the scene. Police found the stolen pickup truck about a mile down the road but are still searching for the suspects.
