A report from KHOU indicates a veteran in a wheelchair shot a robbery suspect “several times” Monday night in Houston, Texas.
KHOU indicates the incident occurred slightly before 9 p.m. “at the METRO station at Pierce and Main streets.”
Click2Houston noted the veteran was at the METRO station waiting to catch us bus back to his home when the alleged attempted robbery occurred.
The robbery suspect allegedly approached the veteran in the wheelchair and “tried to steal a bag,” at which point the veteran pulled a handgun and opened fire.
ABC 13 quoted Houston Police Lt. J.P. Horelica describing the veteran’s actions, saying, “He fired multiple shots, striking the suspect. The suspect ran several hundred yards, where he collapsed and was picked up by the Houston Fire Department and treated.”
The suspect was taken to a hospital where he is in stable condition.
