Houston: victim shot by robber in drive-through restaurant

#1

Post by seamusTX »

On November 13 around 11 p.m. at 10400 Northwest Freeway (US Highway 290) in Houston (again, not a "bad" neighborhood), a robber shot a driver in the drive-through lane of a restaurant. The driver was able to drive himself to the hospital, where he was treated and released. The robber is at large. He is described as a black male in his early 30s, about 6 feet tall, with an average build. Police released a composite sketch today.

Who was it here who had the Taco Bell vagrant come out of the bushes? This reminds me of that poster's situation.

The man in the article simply tried to drive away and was shot in the face.

Drive-through windows seem to put one at such a tactical disadvantage that at they are not worth the heartburn.
