Gun-toting Texas uncle wastes no time punching holes in armed crooks he sees robbing his nephew
A trio of armed robbers ran headlong into bad luck last week when their plot to steal a victim's watch during what was supposed to be an in-person sale was thwarted after the victim's gun-toting uncle saw the crime unfolding and opened fire, police in Texas said.
Mark Herman, Precinct 4 Constable of Harris County, described what went down during a news conference; his remarks begin just before the 14-minute mark.
'Why would you go meet someone you don't know to try to sell something in a parking lot?'
Herman said the victim was attempting to sell his watch and agreed to meet the buyer around 8 p.m. Thursday outside a Costco in the 26940 block of Northwest Freeway. The location is in Cypress, which is about 30 minutes northwest of Houston.
But the buyer had no intention of paying for the watch. Instead, he brought two other people with him, and they ended up pulling guns on the victim in an attempt to rob him, Herman said.
While they ended up taking the watch, Herman said the victim's uncle walked out of the Costco, saw the robbery happening, and opened fire.
In fact, Herman said the uncle ended up shooting two of the three suspects before they all fled the scene.
Two of the suspects — ages 17 and 18 — were hospitalized, Herman said, adding that one of them had surgery, and both are expected to survive. Herman said aggravated robbery charges will be filed against both of them.
The third suspect — age 16 — also was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery and turned over to juvenile authorities.
Police said multiple firearms as well as the stolen property were recovered during the investigation.
KRIV-TV's video report indicated that it's not known if the uncle came with his nephew for the transaction or if he just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
In the end, Herman cautioned against such in-person transactions — even when they're in public places, noting "how much more public can you get" than outside a Costco.
"Why would you go meet someone you don't know to try to sell something in a parking lot?" Herman noted during the news conference. "Why even put yourself in that position?"
He added that there have been cases in which strangers come to houses for transactions — and "now they know where you live."
"Don't do it," Herman warned, adding that "for a few hundred dollars you're risking your life" and that "it's all common sense."

Crockett hits back, says Colbert is full of it: 'They just didn't want to air it'
Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas is taking aim at late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert for pulling an interview with her opponent.
Colbert lashed out at President Donald Trump after CBS pulled an interview with James Talarico, another Democratic candidate running for Senate against Crockett, citing new FCC guidelines. While Colbert pointed the finger at the government, Crockett was quick to push back on the narrative, insisting that the federal government had nothing to do with the decision to pull Talarico's interview.
'This was because of a fear that the FCC may say something to them.'
"We did receive information suggesting that the federal government did not shut down the segment, number one," Crockett said.
"That is my understanding that the federal government did not shut this down, and we will do an official statement once we get another official statement that we anticipate is going to be coming from Paramount," Crockett added. "So we will read what they say, and then we'll go from there."

CBS' official statement claimed that Colbert's show was "provided legal guidance" by the FCC.
"The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled," the statement read. "THE LATE SHOW decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options."
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr reiterated these guidelines in late January, reminding networks of their "obligation" to provide candidates equal airtime.
"For years, legacy TV networks assumed that their late night & daytime talk shows qualify as 'bona fide news' programs — even when motivated by purely partisan political purposes," Carr said in a post on X. "Today, the FCC reminded them of their obligation to provide all candidates with equal opportunities."

As CBS' statement said, Colbert opted to post the interview on social media rather than broadcasting it live on the program in order to work around the FCC's new guidance requiring shows to provide competing candidates equal time on air. Although Crockett has been on Colbert's show multiple times, she noted that she "did not get a request" to appear on his show.
"It is our understanding that Colbert, either Mr. Colbert or CBS, decided that they just didn't want to air it," Crockett said of the Talarico interview. "And this was because of a fear that the FCC may say something to them and that there may have been advice to just have me on and then they could clear the issue."
"It was my understanding that someone somewhere decided we just don't want to do that and instead, we're going to just do it this way."
