A botched armed robbery resulted in the death of one of three suspects one Friday night in Texas. After approaching a home cookout, two of the three suspected robbers produced firearms and attempted to rob the guests. Unfortunately for them, this was a Texas cookout, and at least one of the guests was armed. The man in question, who was a licensed handgun carrier, drew his sidearm and shot one suspect. The other two robbers remain at large. (foxnews.com, Dallas, Texas, 1/13/20)

The Doctor shot one of the men in the leg in a rough-and-tumble with the burglars, which enabled police to nab the pair.
