Married couple gets into shootout with armed robbers at Texas gas station
An armed Texas couple got into a shootout with two would-be robbers at a gas station Tuesday, wounding one of the suspects, according to police.

The chaos erupted after a woman saw two men get out of separate cars with guns in the parking lot of the gas station in north Houston around 5:30 p.m., police told Fox 26.

The woman, who was armed, called her husband, who was also packing heat, to alert him of the danger while he was inside the store, cops said.

While the two suspects were trying to rob the place, one of the men threatened to kill the husband and hit him with a pistol and a gunfight broke out, police said.

One of the suspects was shot multiple times and the other fled in a green Dodge Charger.

Isn't that basically the definition of what passes as reporting these days?

'Packing heat.'
Actually, it got a chuckle out of me.
At least they didn't say 'strapped'.

Guys don’t jump to conclusions, they are married, maybe the wife gave a statement to the reporter. If so good for him.
