Vendor (with CHL) fights back against attackers

Post by Tireshred »

I couldn't find this on the forum, a CHL just trying to make a living was assaulted and fought back. This is very close to my workplace and is a big reason I have a CHL.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A vendor says three teens approached him and attacked while he was working. That's when he says he pulled out a gun and fired, killing one of the suspects.
The confrontation started about 11pm on MLK near Reed Road. Authorities tell us the vendor was parked at a gas station as he was delivering snack products to the store. Police say he was inside the store and when he walked back out, he was approached by three teenage boys who demanded the snack products.
When the vendor refused, authorities say the teens, all three of them, began to assault the vendor by punching, kicking and hitting him. During the assault, the vendor was able to defend himself.
"The individual is a concealed handgun license carrier, was armed at the time, retrieved a weapon and subsequently shot and killed an individual here on the scene,"
Authorities say one of the teens, who was 14 or 15 years old, died at the scene. The two other accomplices ran off, but were later caught and arrested.
The case is being referred to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
