Houston Robbery gone right
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A teen was rushed into emergency surgery after he and three other juveniles tried robbing a veteran Marine, deputies say.
It happened around 10:30 Friday night in the 18000 block of Remington Springs.
Harris County deputies said the homeowner was approached from behind by four young men. One of them held a gun to the back of his head and tried to get him to go inside his home.
They said the homeowner spun around, knocked the suspect's handgun away, pulled out his own gun and shot the teen robber several times.
The suspect was taken to the hospital. There is no word on his condition.

I just probably wouldn’t rob a white dude in Texas. Seems like way to big of a risk

Soon the reports will come out of the family saying “he didn’t have to shoot him because he wasn’t going to hurt the guy anyway. He was just trying to get some Christmas money“

Why do you assume he's white?

He isn’t white. He is Hispanic. His name is Alexander Borrego.

Spain is a European country. Saying Hispanics aren't white is literally something that Nazi's say.
Now if you mean, Mestizo, then that is one thing, but judging from the guys photo, if he is in fact a Mestizo, he is probably 25% or less Indian.
So.. Pretty much white tbh.

The four doing the robbing were all gingers, and officers in the chess club at their local high school. The one that had the gun knocked out of his hand was shot.
Another of the 4 robbers had to have a size 12ee surgically removed from his aggie hole.

“ I was on my phone listening to music and the next thing I knew, I had a gun to the back of my head," Borrego said.
Three more guys were trying to push him towards the front door, inside the house, where his family was inside.
"I saw my wife's face and my daughter's and that was it," said Borrego.
The teen robbers likely had no idea who they were targeting. Borrego is a Marine Veteran, who served through 2009, and was carrying his gun in the front pouch of his hoodie.

"My last thought before I pulled the trigger was don't be the last one to fall. Stay up as long as you can," said Borrego.
He says he had one bullet in the chamber and the gun was on safety. He knew he just had to get his finger on the safety before turning around and firing.
"The guy I hit dropped his gun when he was running," said Borrego.
You can still see a bullet hole in the family car. Some neighbors say they saw the teens walking in the neighborhood earlier, another captured them passing by on home surveillance video.
When Borrego turned his gun on them, you can see two of them running from the scene, but they didn't get far. Security Officer Arthur Chatman Junior works the neighborhood and caught up to them.
"I encountered two of the suspects, running in the neighborhood on the opposite side of the subdivision, detained them, got their information and passed it on to Harris County Sheriff's Department," said Chapman.
One suspect was injured, two captured and a fourth still on the run, but the homeowner, veteran, husband and father is still standing.
"You just don't mess with a man's family, that's it," he said.

Open carry in Texas. Wish I was still stationed there.
