Good guy with a gun defends self against armed robbery attempt

A shootout between an accused robber and a customer at a north Harris County gas station left the robber dead and the customer injured, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Officials say at about 4 p.m. Friday, a robber went to a Valero gas station near the northeastern edge of George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The suspect tried to rob a customer at the gas station who was armed, deputies say.

“I had two males exchange gunfire. I have one male that is deceased on scene and then I have another male that has been transported to the hospital,” Harris County Sheriff’s Office Lt. David Klozik said.

The customer and the suspect exchanged gunfire which resulted in the robber being shot and killed, officials say.

“There was about 11-12 shots like a binary trigger… you would hear, ‘Pop! Pop! Pop!’” Crystal Bryant, a witness, said.

The customer was shot four times in the exchange and was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening but serious injuries. The customer is expected to survive, deputies say.
