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."

Gotta love Texas and the right to bear arms! This is precisely why firearms in the hands of those trained in their use and respect the weapon are a good thing!

Not the best result but a fucking good one ! I say that because having to shoot people to protect yourself is a traumatic event, and I hope to God that the man and his wife can continue to enjoy life, but the prognosis isn't good. Same as the police when they kill someone. It's hard to deal with, even for people trained to do it. My advice to them is don't look back, God will take care of the two robbers, live life, and don't feel bad.
