#12  If the place sells enough booze the gun might be illegal in the establishment. That could explain why the place was targeted as well as why the shooter moved on quickly.

Also the video freezes before the shot, the line is drawn. Is that really when he shot? or just the last visible frame?

#9  Wondered about that. There is some elevation change in play, but I bet corner dude got a little gooey.

Given the DA doesn't want to prosecute crime there, best thing the cops can do is take notes and make the record official.

I hope they make a statement and use Whataburger number plaques.

#8  Even if the Harris county or Houston tried to prosecute the one that killed the robber, a jury will vote not guilty. it's WHY even in Houston/Harris County they rarely even try. It frustrates the hell out of them but if they try to hard they WILL get voted out.

#5  Police say the shooter then took the stolen money from the suspect and gave it back to the customers. He and the other patrons then left, officials say.
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the restaurant owner and workers were the only ones who remained at the scene.

#4  Shooter was smart to leave; hopefully he won’t be pursued- and will work on his gun safety (know what’s behind your target.)

#1  Texas Thug-Game Rule #1
Don't bring a Cap Gun to a Texas establishment to rob people, likely far better armed.


Police said all the customers, including the shooter, left before officers arrived at the scene.

Given the CCTV footage and likelihood of an ATM card used, instead of $$$ they are findable. IF the police even decide to track them down.
