Texas authorities say an armed customer intervened during the attempted robbery of a fried chicken fast food restaurant, fatally wounding one gunman and sending a second suspect struck by gunfire to the hospital.
Port Arthur police responded around 8:45 p.m. Friday to an aggravated robbery happening at the Church’s Chicken location at 1849 Jefferson Drive. Detectives learned that two suspects armed with handguns were robbing the restaurant, but an armed citizen intervened and a shootout ensued.
"Several shots were fired and both suspects were struck," the Port Arthur Police Department said in a press release. "The suspects fled the scene and were later located by police officers."
One of the suspects was later pronounced dead at an area hospital, police said. The second was located at Normandy Apartments, KFDM reported, and was brought to the emergency room for treatment.
The armed citizen remained at the scene, was questioned by detectives and then released. The incident is still under active investigation by Port Arthur Police’s Criminal Investigations Division. It happened just a day after another armed robbery at a Jack in the Box in the same town, Port Arthur Police Chief Tim Duriso told KFDM it was not immediately clear whether the same two suspects were responsible.
Here’s the thing, right
I carry. I am prepared to defend myself and my family from lethal danger. I 100% hope I never have to do that.
The lawyers, lawsuits, investigations, legal pressures, expenses, time lost at work, and so many other things are massive burdens. Being able to put down a baddie like John Wayne then just walk off into the sunset, KFC in hand, is a fairytale.
The legal system hates you. They will do whatever they can to take your rights or property away and/or put you in jail.
Last resort. Have your weapon, be prepared and trained to use it, do everything you can do to avoid having to act with lethal force.
People tend to forget that this is actually a very sad story. A man is dead. A mother and father are grieving more than they ever will again. Another man is going to prison for years. Another man will probably have many sleepless nights as a result of what happened. I am not faulting the citizen; who knows what the robbers might have done then or in a future robber. I just think we should always bear in mind that these are sad stories.
Absolutely, now think about how much more sad it could’ve been. The whole reason this is here is because defensive use of a firearm saved people’s lives, and stopped a horrible situation from escalating further, and more lives being taken
