HOUSTON – Police are searching for three armed suspects after they shot a customer at a Denny’s restaurant during a crime spree in west Houston.

According to the Houston Police Department, the shooting happened at 1:45 a.m. at the restaurant located off the Katy Freeway and Wilcrest.

Three suspects with masks drove to the Danny's in a silver colored Cadillac CTS that was stolen around 11 p.m. from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and the South Loop.

The armed suspects entered the restaurant held the employees and customers at gun point demanding the cash. They got money from the register and from the safe

Police say when a male customer did not co-operate one of the suspects shot him in the abdomen. The customer was transported to the hospital in serious but stable condition.

Police said these same three suspects robbed the Denny’s at Westheimer and Dunvale prior to hitting the one on Wilcrest. No injuries were reported in that incident.

Then around midnight, they targeted the IHOP at W. Sam Houston Parkway near Westheimer. Police said the suspects robbed that restaurant and shot at a customer. Luckily, the customer was not hit and the suspects fled.

After hitting the Denny’s at Wilcrest, HPD received notice from Sugarland that an IHOP had just been robbed by the same suspects.

Officers are looking for these suspects as they are armed and extremely dangerous.

What happened to the theory of "Pro gun laws stop crime"?

That was only a theory in progressives mind. Same as when they say people who want smaller government want no government. We also don't know if anyone there was even armed outside of the suspects.
Nothing can stop all crime. No one claims that. If they do they are being disingenuous.
I'm still trying to figure out how gun free zones are safer.

I am not sure if customers are allowed to carry at those fast food restaurants. Many places such as Walmart impose restrictions 'no firearms are allowed'. For that reason I don't have CHL so I don't carry, and this theory is not applicable to me to the full extent. I believe this theory would work better if there are no restrictions like these for law abiding citizens and more people carry on regular basis.

It's been a while since I've been to a Denny's, but I don't recall seeing a 30.06 compliant sign at any of their locations. WalMart definitely allows concealed carry, and in most cases, open carry, although open carry may result in being asked if you are licensed.

Hmm...maybe it depends on particular location. I know for sure it's prohibited at Walmart Supercenter near me.

Couple weeks ago a young man was killed outside of the IHOP on the SE Gulfgate area.

You would think after the second robbery at least there would be a bolo issued and other similar restaurants would be notified. And you would also think that maybe the police would catch on to this pattern a little faster and stake out other Denny's and perhaps catch them in the act ?

Why did that one customer not cooperate? I really hope he recovers but as soon as he's released from the hospital his family needs to beat his ass for doing something so foolish.

I heard on a radio that this customer tried to shoot back, but missed. They fired more accurately. I saw some suspicious guys in gang T-shirts practicing at American Shooting Center. Seems they practiced better than that customer.
