#1

Post by seamusTX »

In Houston, today, around 2 p.m., a 28-year-old man who was a regular customer entered a gas station convenience store on Clinton Drive near 610 and "grabbed the store clerk's gun." He reportedly tried to shoot himself in the head, but the gun wouldn't fire. ... the man then pointed the gun at a customer in the store," according to police.

The customer left the store and heard several gunshots, but no one was hurt. Police took the man into custody and charged him with robbery.

Where was the store clerk's gun, and if it was hidden, how did the guy know it was there? :headscratch
