Armed Citizen Shoots Would-Be Robber Dead At Texas Restaurant

An armed customer at a Texas restaurant intervened and shot a would-be robber dead Friday, according to reports.

Two unidentified individuals tried robbing the Church’s Chicken in Port Arthur, Texas, around 8:45 p.m., according to KFDM. Suddenly, an armed customer stepped in and fired off several rounds, striking both suspects, according to the report. The suspects reportedly fled the scene, with one eventually dying at a local hospital.

Police located the second injured suspect at an apartment complex. He was subsequently treated in the emergency room. One of the suspects is possibly from Louisiana, Port Arthur Police Chief Tim Duriso told KFDM.

Authorities interviewed the individual who shot the suspects before releasing him, according to 12NewsNow.
