HOUSTON (AP) — Harris County sheriff’s deputies say a customer at a bar has fatally shot two of four armed men who came into the place and announced a holdup.
Homicide Sgt. Robert Spurgeon says patrons were ordered to get to the floor early Saturday but one of them pulled out of gun of his own and started shooting.
Two of the would-be robbers were found dead in the parking lot. Two others fled.
Spurgeon says the gun-toting customer also left the scene and authorities are trying to find out who he is and why he left.
Deputies believe the robbers may be responsible for a number of other recent holdups in the area.
