A man’s plan for a quick grab and a fast getaway turned into a trip to a hospital — most likely followed by jail.
On Monday night in Houston, a wheelchair-bound veteran at a METRO station was waiting for a ride.
Then came an attempt to take his backpack, according to KTRK-TV.
The victim was not quite so willing to be robbed as the robber might have hoped. The veteran was armed and fired several shots at the would-be robber, according to KHOU.
“He fired multiple shots, striking the suspect,” Houston police Lt. J.P. Horelica sai.
“The suspect ran several hundred yards, where he collapsed and was picked up by the Houston Fire Department and treated,” he said.
