OOPS, VIGILANTE SHOOTS VICTIM WHILE TRYING TO STOP CARJACKING

A witness to a Houston carjacking whips out his gun and fires at the crooks, accidentally shooting the victim in the head

Around 11 p.m. Saturday, a man left the inside of a gas station in northeast Houston and returned to his pickup truck. He was beaten over the head and carjacked. A witness saw what was happening, whipped out a gun, and fired at the two crooks. But oops, he shot the victim in the head. The vigilante beat feet before arrival of the cops. The unnamed victim is recovering in a hospital.

The cops found the pickup ditched about three blocks from the scene of the crime. The truck’s driver side window was shattered and there was blood inside the cab, leading the police to believe that at least one of the crooks was wounded by the vigilante.

The cops are looking for the two carjackers and also for the vigilante.

Yep, this is Texas alright. If this had happened out in California, there’d be no vigilante and them thar carjackers would not have had to ditch that stolen pickup truck.

That is a fairly serious oops. No wonder the shooter took off. I don't know about Texas but in CA that could buy you some very serious civil liability.
