Indeed, this is a terrible thing to have happened. However, these boys’ parents should have been parenting them a lot better and they would not have put themselves in this situation (Proverbs 1). Nevertheless, though 3 boys, ages 12, 13 and 14 were shot, the shooting saved the lives of an armed 25-year-old Texas man and his girlfriend.
Three boys—ages 12, 13, and 14—attempted an armed robbery on Christmas night, targeting a 25-year-old man and his girlfriend outside their apartment complex. At first, the couple thought it was a prank because of how young the kids looked, but things turned deadly serious when the boys pulled guns.
The intended victim, however, wasn’t defenseless. He drew his own firearm and opened fire, hitting ALL three of the boys.
- A 12-year-old is hospitalized in critical condition.
- Two others, ages 12 and 13, returned to the scene with non-fatal injuries seeking help.
- A 14-year-old accomplice was taken into custody unharmed.
The 25-year-old Victim stayed on the scene and cooperated with police.
