The Armed Citizen Extra
A couple intervened to help a Houston McDonald's employee being held at gunpoint late one night. When a robber pointed a gun at the employee in an attempt to hold up the restaurant, the couple stepped in, with one man drawing his gun and shooting the robber. After fleeing on foot, the would-be thief was later arrested at a nearby hospital. (click2houston.com, Houston, Texas, 12/22/2018)
