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 (http://bit.ly/16pzsvv ).
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. http://www.sfgate.com/news/texas/article/Texas-man-shoots-duo-that-abducted-him-his-wife-4705242.php
If this happened in Chicago or Washington D.C., the husband would probably be brought up on charges for having an illegal gun.
At least these two thugs will never be able to commit crimes again, especially the dead one.
