9 year old girl shot by robbery victim 3rd child killed in Houston this year. [View all]
Moved from GD to Guns
No details on whether the “robbery victim” was a legal gun owner, but with the extremely lax gun laws in Texas, most anyone is.
Very sad, say her name, Arlene Alvarez.
A man who was robbed at gunpoint at a bank ATM drive-thru on Monday evening pulled his own gun and fired shots at the robber, but instead struck a 9-year-old girl who was in the backseat of her family’s vehicle, authorities said. The girl died Tuesday evening.
The child, identified by relatives as Arlene Alvarez, was shot around 9:45 p.m. Monday as her father drove her and her siblings by a Chase bank on Winkler Drive, near the 2900 block of Woodridge Drive in southeast Houston.
