   A Texas father shot two teenage would-be robbers Sunday night after the   
   pair tried to carjack his SUV with his wife and two infant children   
   inside.   
      
   Local news reports that "The father, who happened to be armed, fired   
   several rounds through a rear window and hit both suspects, according to   
   deputies. His wife then continued driving to get away."   
      
   The two alleged robbers had crept up behind the vehicle as the family was   
   arriving at their Harris County home in Houstin just a little after   
   midnight on Sunday. The pair tried to open the SUV's rear door, right   
   where the two infants were seated, when the father pulled his gun and   
   fired.   
      
   In a statement, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said, "The adult male feared for the   
   safety of his family and fired shots and struck both suspects." The New   
   York Post reports that one child was 1-year-old and the other of a   
   similar, but unknown, age.   
      
   Fox News reports that Sheriff Gonzanles said, "A car pulled up after the   
   shooting driven by an [unknown] male believed to be with the suspects.   
   Both wounded suspects were taken to hospitals by private vehicles. Both   
   suspects are teens,16 yrs old. Both are said to be stable & in fair   
   condition."   
      
   Local KHOA news obtained Ring doorbell camera footage which captured the   
   incident. The action is in the distance but four gunshots can be heard   
   along with the lamentation and wailing sobs of the alleged perpetrators.   
      
   An investigation is open but the father has not been charged with any   
   crime as the police say he was acting within his rights of self defense.
