No place but Houston ( and Austin )

The Man who chased teenagers in his car with a gun who ended up murdering an innocent woman driver last week in a car accident, a month and a half ago famously stopped all traffic on I 45 for a photo shoot with his friends in front of a “Be Somebody” billboard.

This really upset just about everyone in Houston on I 45, or not. He will need a change of venue.

This is too hard to explain. It involves - it’s just really weird.

Absolutely weird. But the per capita weirdness is relatively low.

A woman was shot in her driveway by another woman while she was setting up for a garage sale. The other woman drove off.

I guess it is really getting this bad in Houston.

The first link has been update by channel 2 news to show video of a very deliberate shooting. Woman stops in a pick up truck,gets out, exchanges words with the woman setting up the garage sale, then shoots her and drives off.

Might want to talk to the husband, see if he knows the woman.

I was going to make a joke about early garage sale shoppers being the worst, but holy smokes was that cold blooded.

Looked pretty personal.

Man in traffic with 3 toddlers in backseat shot in head by driver passing by on inside lane on FM 1960 near Ella.

First video in link shows the video of the actual shooting, takes awhile to get to it. Shows how quickly it happened.
Apparently it was targeted, had a previous altercation.

I remember when the FM 1960 area was a nice safe area especially on the West side of I 45.

Silver car not a red pick up this time.

Cameras are everywhere now.

Probably had to run out and get some Whataburger table numbers. And, at least the victim didn't have far to drive that's like a block from NW Medical Center.

Interesting these recent shootings have all been in this area near the hospital.

What with Obamacare they probably all have good health insurance, so this maybe a new profit center for the hospital chain.

A concerned citizen called 311. They were trying to get into this house to smoke marijuana. We questioned them as to whether they were under the effects of the drugs or they actually saw a tiger.

The tiger was also overweight.

My CA friends kidded me about this, I said I would hold their beer.

Brazen criminals rob 3 people in 40 minutes in Baybrook Mall.

Imagine after one robbery they didn't "getaway" they stayed in the same mall and just robbed more people.

And the reason malls are disappearing is due to Amazon.
