A husband in Harris County, Texas, opened fire and hit two suspects after they allegedly tried to rob his wife at a Randall’s grocery store parking lot in broad daylight.

Katy Magazine Online reports that the pair were loading groceries into their vehicle when the suspects pulled up in a Cadillac SUV without plates, allegedly flashed a handgun and demanded the wife hand over her purse. The husband, who was on the opposite side of the vehicle, retrieved his gun then moved into position and opened fire, leaving both suspects wounded.

ABC 13 reports the suspects then fled in their vehicle, but quickly crashed and began running on foot.

The driver had a gunshot wound  to the shoulder and ran to a nearby fire station for help. He was transported to Memorial Hospital for treatment. The second suspect escaped.
