Houston police spokesman Kese Smith says two men were in the store Thursday afternoon pretending to be customers when a third man burst into the store and stated, "This is a robbery."
All three men then pulled out pistols, tied up the store owner's wife and took her to a back room.
They were trying to tie up the owner, when he took a handgun from his waistband and fatally shot one of the suspects. Smith said he then grabbed a shotgun and shot and killed the other two suspects.
The store owner was shot in the stomach and taken to a Houston hospital. Smith says his wife was not hurt.
God Speed to the store owner...I hope he heals quickly and completely. Do you wonder why I call people who take the time to defend themselves or others --- Sheep Dogs? Its because there are wolves that walk on two feet that will prey on the weak. The weak can be called sheep...but there are those out there that have the same qualities of the wolf, yet they defend themselves and others...they're the Sheep Dogs and this guy is one of them.
I don't much like Lt. Col. Grossman's divide between wolves, dogs and sheep: I believe it reinforces the civil/LEO-mil divide and that it fails to cover what I call the Citizen / the Ram. That would be the person who might be a producer most of his [her] life, but who'll jump through an aggressor when he sees a danger (or, for another example with less violence, the one who will push for proper vests for the local LEO agency till the politicians fear his name).
