A carjacking victim turned the pages on two thugs earlier this week after allegedly being robbed outside a local Walmart on the north side of Houston, Texas.

Local station KTRK-TV reports: “Police say the trouble started when a guy was trying to rent a movie from a Redbox around 9:30pm. They say two robbers got out of a green Honda and pulled a gun on the man. Detectives say the crooks took the man’s cell phone and keys, got into the victim’s car and started backing out.”

Here’s where things went downhill for the two thugs. The victim happens to be a concealed carry permit holder. According to the report, “[T]he car owner … pulled his own gun and started shooting the carjackers. The driver was killed. His accomplice was shot two to three times, and managed to speed from the scene with a getaway driver.”

Legal analyst Sarah Frazier says, “It definitely appears to fall under or potentially fall under the penal code for defense of one’s property.” Based on Texas law, a grand jury is likely to rule the incident a justifiable homicide, according to Frazier.
