A father shot and wounded two suspects who allegedly tried to rob his SUV Monday morning while his wife and two babies were inside the vehicle.

Newsweek reports that the incident occurred just after midnight on Monday. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez indicates the robbery suspects were both 16 years old.

The suspects allegedly walked up to the SUV and opened one of the vehicle’s doors near where the baby was sitting:

Gonzalez tweeted, “The adult male feared for the safety of his family and fired shots and struck both suspects. The wife was driving and drove away after the shooting to get away from the suspects.”

Newsweek quoted Harris County Sergeant J. Wheeler giving a similar account. “One of the parents inside the vehicle, as the suspects were attempting to enter, one of the parents fired off several rounds and shot both of the male suspects.”

FOX News reports that the father responded by shooting both teens, who were thereafter taken to a hospital in private vehicles and are in “stable and fair condition,” according to Gonzalez.

The thugs survived. no video, of stupid people getting themselves shot.

Quick reaction on Dad's part - but it begs the question. How many vehicles these days don't automatically lock their doors after the car gets put in gear? IOW, if the SUV was a relatively modern vee-hickle, isn't that a standard safety feature any more?

Regardless of the situation, I'm glad for the family and even for the punks -- maybe, just maybe, they'll learn something from this after they serve their lengthy prison sentence.

Sad question, has Harris County gotten so nutso-Lib that this successful defense of his family might be prosecuted, just to harass him?

It's the greater Houston area so, probably yes. The lawyers are lining up.

The family had just arrived at home. My guess is they were in their driveway with their vehicle in park, which would unlock the doors to prevent locking your keys in the vehicle (at least that's what happens with my Corolla).

It's to bad they were taken to the hospital and not the morgue.
