A woman was standing in her driveway around 4:30 a.m. when three men approached her. The group of men attempted to rob her, but the victim drew her handgun and fired at the men, hitting one before her boyfriend ran out of the house to help her. The other two suspects fled, but the couple is OK and not expected to face charges for defending themselves. (Abc13.com, Harris County, Texas, 12/13/21)
