Note that MD Anderson is off limits to CHL as a school. Now why would a CHL holder ned to carry a gun in a teaching hospital?From 03-18-2011 through 03-22-2011 there have been 4 aggravated robberies reported near our UT/MD Anderson campus. There were two reports on the 18th, one at Broadmead Drive & Main St. (8:20pm) and at 9000 Almeda Road (9:25pm). The third report was also from 9000 Almeda Road on the 19th (9:25pm). The fourth report happened on Tuesday, March 22nd at 1800 El Paseo, across from UT Housing.
The method of operation reported to police by the victims indicates that the aggravated robberies may have been committed by the same person. The individual approaches on foot (may pretend to be on his cell phone), displays his gun and forces the victims to give him their belongings, such as wallet and cell phone. The individual has been described as a black male, mid to late twenties, goatee, medium build wearing a black shirt and grey sweat pants. If you have any information regarding these robberies please contact UTPD @ 713-792-2890.
Unfortunately it looks like there is going to be an amendment added to SB354 allowing school-owned hospitals (MD Anderson, UTMB, etc.) to post §30.06 signs, so this robber and others can likely count on unarmed victims for years to come.
