Man Shoots Two Bank Robbery Suspects Who Kidnapped Him And His Wife



Via Fox News:
COLUMBUS, Texas – Authorities say a Houston-area man turned the tables on two bank robbery suspects who had abducted him and his wife by pulling a gun on the unsuspecting duo and shooting them both, killing one of them.

The suspects apparently knew that the woman worked at the First National Bank of Eagle Lake in Columbus, and they abducted her and her husband at gunpoint at their residence north of the city on Thursday and drove them back to the bank, Columbus County Sheriff’s Sgt. Andrew Weido told Houston television station KHOU.

The suspects forced the woman to taken an undisclosed amount of money from the bank, then forced the husband to drive them in his truck down Highway 71, Weido said. It was then that the husband grabbed a gun that was in the truck and fired at the suspects, he said.

Officers who responded to a 911 call found both suspects lying on the ground near the truck suffering from gunshot wounds. They were taken to different hospitals, where one of them was pronounced dead. The other suspect remained hospitalized in critical condition Friday. Columbus County authorities didn’t respond to calls for comment Saturday.

Investigators didn’t disclose the couple’s names or say how much money the woman was forced to take from the bank.

Investigators have not released the name of the couple or how much money they were forced to take out.

Those who know the couple said that the community has their back.

“I’m sure that they’re both going to be upset for a while,” resident Brenda Buehler said. “It’s a frightening thing to have happen, but I think everybody’s going to tell them good job.”

I remember in the seventies there was some nut case in Texas shooting at people from
a bell tower. Some study said that almost a third of Texans had mental issues. I don't
think its that high but sometimes I wonder if the number is close.

What a load of sh!t. You don't remember very well. In fact you're very wrong and you look stupid for the ignorant comments. Perhaps you'll give us your 'study' link too. In the meantime:

It was 1966 and the Marine (Charles Whitman) was from Florida. He did more than 'shoot at people', He killed 17 and wounded over 30.

Maybe check your flip remarks before spouting off next time.

Bank robbers hail from pretty much anywhere, and the guy that shot the two robbers did nothing wrong. Being as they were potential witnesses, I wouldn't have held much hope that the robbers would have just let them go.

Didnt he commit suicide and requested that his brain be examined? This case sounds familiar to me.


As for the case in the OP i think the guy did the right thing given the situation he was in.
