Gotta Love a Happy Ending...

Alternate Title: Only in Texas (and no way in HELL in Massachusetts)

No charges in north Houston freeway gunshot exchange
No charges have been filed so far in a fatal shooting earlier this week on Interstate 45.

Houston police said a man killed one man and wounded two others after they fired at him while driving in the 9400 block of North Freeway about 12:20 a.m. Wednesday.

Officers were called to a gas station in the 7400 block of North Shepherd because three males had been shot. Investigators determined that the men had been shot at the freeway and drove to the Shell station.

Just wait. It gets better:
The truck driver stopped on the West Gulf Bank overpass and got a rifle from his back seat for protection, police said. As he looked over the side of the freeway to see the license plate of the Pontiac, he saw the car's driver's side window open and feared the suspects would shoot at him again.

Got that? They shot at him, then peeled off the highway. He got pissed, pulled over, and shot the motherfuckers as they drove away, killing one. Hmmm. Shades of "He's coming right for us!". anyone?

[pause to let sustained cheers die down]

Yippie-ki-yay-motherfucker indeed. Do NOT fuck with Texans. Them crazy sumbitches'll hunt you down and kill your stupid ass.

Good guys 1, with 2 more injured.

Dead Goblin count: 11.

That is all.

Found at Northeastshooters forum thread, where poster dwarven1, an Appleseed instructor, left the following comment: "If I knew his name and address, I'd mail him a Rifleman patch. I'd say he earned it." Heh.

Jay,

Was going to send you the link to that story but you beat me to it. That little saga was just up the freeway from my office and it just reinforces our motto (Don't Mess With Texas). Gun racks ain't just for decoration.

That pretty much sums it up.

Hell, that oughta be on the "Welcome To Texas" signs on the highways!

Any place other than Texas, that dude would be in a world of hurt.

Threat's already gone. Using a rifle on a moving target.

Holy shit, in MA they'd put you away for life.

In Texas, they criticize shot placement.

"Hell, son, y'only got one of 'em. Think you need more time at the range."
