http://abc13.com/news/witness-who-fired-on-carjackers-sought-after-nw-houston-attack-/1004386/
A man said he was hit on the head near a bus station on the edge of the parking lot. A witness saw what happened and as two suspects got in the man's truck to escape, the witness pulled out a gun and shot at the departing truck.
The suspect ditched the truck about three blocks away.
Police found blood inside the truck. Investigators aren't sure if the blood belongs to the suspect or the truck's owner.
The truck's owner is in the hospital recovering.
I'm interested in seeing what actually happened, and whether the shooter was carrying legally, or not. The shooter's actions certainly don't paint him in a good light, even if he didn't in fact hit the driver. By this report, he fired at a fleeing vehicle after the assault had already been committed and the threat had ended, which would be aggravated assault in pretty much any state, absent some very particular circumstances. And then picking up his brass and leaving the scene would be a second crime in most jurisdictions.
