2 suspects shot dead in robbery - Store's owner `feared for his life'; drew gun after threatened
A southwest Houston grocery store owner shot and killed two men Saturday night while they were allegedly robbing his business, police said.The .45 is apparently quite effective. And you'll note - he kept his head and shot the two who were obviously armed.
Khaled Farah Yousef, 31, opened fire on the two men about 8:15 p.m. during the holdup at the Frutilandia #2 store at 7235 Hillcroft. Police said one of the men was killed inside the business while another made it outside, where he died. A third man, who apparently was unarmed, fled and was later taken into custody near the grocery.
"When he gave the money, the suspects had the opportunity to leave and didn't leave," said Houston police homicide Detective Phil Yochum. "The store owner feared for his life."
That was when Yousef pulled a .45-caliber pistol from the waistband of his trousers and began firing. The man with the gun was shot in the chest and died inside the store while the knife-wielding man collapsed in the parking lot.
Perhaps New York City should pay attention to how Houston treats its shop owners and workers?
Y'think?
