Houston Shooting with Happy Ending
 
No charges in north Houston freeway gunshot exchange
By DALE LEZON Copyright 2009 Houston Chronicle, April 9, 2009, 11:40AM

No charges have been filed so far in a fatal shooting earlier this week on Interstate 45.

Houston police said a man killed one man and wounded two others after they fired at him while driving in the 9400 block of North Freeway about 12:20 a.m. Wednesday.

Officers were called to a gas station in the 7400 block of North Shepherd because three males had been shot. Investigators determined that the men had been shot at the freeway and drove to the Shell station.

According to police, they were driving a white Pontiac Grand Prix when they fired gunshots at the driver of a truck. Then they exited the freeway at West Gulf Bank.

The truck driver stopped on the West Gulf Bank overpass and got a rifle from his back seat [it was an AR15, by the way] for protection, police said. As he looked over the side of the freeway to see the license plate of the Pontiac, he saw the car's driver's side window open and feared the suspects would shoot at him again.[good story]

He fired several shots at the Pontiac, hitting the passenger who was sitting in the front seat and another man who was in the back seat.

The front-seat passenger, 17, was taken to Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital, where he later was pronounced dead.

The Pontiac's driver, who was cut in the face by flying glass and shrapnel, and rear seat passenger were treated at the hospital. Their conditions are not immediately known.

A 19-year-old man who was passenger in the car ran away, but was later found and questioned.

It's good to hear that they are being sensible about everything. I bet the bad guys wish they hadn't shot at the guy in the first place.

I'm sure these little wanna be gang bangers were crapping thier pants when the guy started unloading his AR into the vehicle.

What's also surprising is that the truck driver made the hits at such an early hour of the morning (they shot at him ~12:20AM). Must have been a well lit highway/overpass.

HOUSTON -- One person was killed when a group of men tried to steal a boat while driving down a freeway, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Houston police said three men in a car tried to steal a boat that a man was hauling with his pickup truck on Interstate 45 at about 1 a.m.
Investigators said the men in the car opened fire on the man in the pickup truck. The man in the pickup truck returned fire, officials said.
One of the men inside the car was killed. The driver of the car stopped at a gas station on North Shepherd Drive for help.
The driver of the pickup truck lost control and ended up a field. There were fish in the boat because the man was returning from a fishing trip at Lake Conroe.

Lucky for the truck driver, he was in Texas at the time. If it'd been Commifornia, he would probably be in lock-up.

Good......We need more of this.

THEY NEED TO FEAR US.
NOT US FEAR THEM

That is the only way the violence stops.

When all parties concerned have a healthy fear of dying.

Hope they didn't take the guy's rifle away... for the duration of the investigation. That would suck for him.

It was probably the guy in the passenger seat who fired the shots; I wonder if the other two will face felony murder charges.
