You may recall a few months ago there was a string of robberies in the parking lots of HEBs, Walmarts, big box-type stores, along one of the interstates in Houston. Couple guys were just driving down the highway, stopping at the big boxes near the exits, and robbing women shoppers who were getting into their cars...until the last lady shot at them. There is a thread about it on the forum someplace.

An armed guy with a bandana over his face picked the worst two people to try to rob last night: two undercover Houston cops.
...
When the robber pulled out his gun and demanded money, HPD says the two cops, "fearing for their safety, discharged their duty weapons and exchanged gunfire with the suspect."


What we have here is a failure of the victim selection process...

Interesting comment by the reporter writing the article:
"It doesn't appear to have been a fair gunfight -- neither of the officers were hit."

It was so unfair, the robber died at the scene.
