Customer shoots and kills armed robber in Houston taco shop



On Thursday night, a masked man pointed a gun and demanded money from the patrons inside Ranchito #4 Taqueria. A customer attempted to stop him, pulling out a gun of his own and opening fire, shooting the suspect multiple times. After the robber was killed, the shooter retrieved the stolen cash to return to the other customers when he discovered the gun the suspect used was fake. The question now is whether the shooter will face any legal action for his deadly intervention.

  1. A Hero here in Texas!

  2. Dumb black 🖤 dude rob a place with fake gun 🔫 crash dummy

  3. He had it coming, this is what is going to take to deter other thugs from doing the same.

  4. Who here from djay ghost??

  5. I find it super funny that people still don't carry one in the chamber. Lots of things could have gone wrong, where he had this firearm, struggling to chamber a round then firing ontop of almost getting caught pulling it out.

  6. i believe he is an ex army.

  7. Play Stupid Games….Win Stupid Prizes…Nuff Said…!!!

  8. If the "I feared for my life" defense works for the police, it should also work in this case. Everybody there were giving their money to the robber because everybody there thought his gun was real, so they all felt their lives were in danger.

  9. The shooter was a victim!

    The robber was leaving the premises, however there is no guarantee that he wouldn't have fired at any of the people in the restaurant!

    I'm sure the gun looked real, unfortunately it wasn't!

    The shooter was right, he did what he had to!

    Sad that another person lost their life!

  10. The only thing wrong that I see, from the information given in this video. Is that this hero left the scene before police arrived. Or am I mistaken?

  11. He should get an award. Great job.

  12. That's my dog.. He bought everyone of those bullets.

  13. He should've stayed there cause his actions were justified and for the robber, play stupid games expect stupid rewards.
