TX: Houston - 70+ Year-Old Employee Shoots 20+Year-Old Burglary Suspect

Investigators said the employee, who is in his 70s, heard loud banging behind the business and went outside armed with a handgun to see what was happening.

According to HPD Lt. Willkens, the employee encountered one person acting as a lookout while another suspect came from behind the building carrying burglary tools, including a crowbar and hammer. Police said the second suspect then charged toward the employee, who fired one shot, striking the man in the leg.

The wounded suspect, believed to be in his 20s, ran from the scene and was later found at a nearby Jack in the Box after employees called 911. Police said the man had asked workers to contact his girlfriend instead of calling police.
