"The man told police a small silver or white compact car stopped beside them on right side of their SUV. Someone inside the car got out, walked over and tried to pull the man out of his SUV. When the man resisted, the suspect pulled a gun and fired two shots in an apparent attempt to scare the man. The man, who was carrying a concealed handgun, pulled his gun and returned fire"

Look at the far right end of your attempted link. Somehow, you deleted the left bracket - "["

Your link ends with "/url]" instead of "[/url]".

The man driving the SUV told police he emptied his weapon at the suspects’ vehicle as they drove off.

I am sure this was very satisfying but also not the best thing to do.

I have been through that intersection many times, tho not lately and not usually at 12 a.m.

Shooting at the fleeing vehicle was bad form, but apparently the shots didn't stray, so I am will to extend him some heat-of-battle consideration.

Oh, and I wonder if he was open carrying? :)

I checked back on this story and noticed that it was last updated on "Sat, Jan 02 2016, 11:58 PM". My clock says it is now 1907 Seguin time, on Sat 2 Jan 16.

Now I am 40 miles east of San Antonio, haven't been there for awhile, so maybe it moved into a different time zone while I wasn't watching, but wouldn't the time be earlier, at least? Not four hours later?

I looked at my watch for local time, but the forum matches this. The time-stamp in the article doesn't appear to be controlled by any local settings. I did notice later elsewhere on the site that a link to the story had an update subtitle with 11:58 AM, which sounds more reasonable. :)

Wow. I work down the street from here. I cross that intersection multiple times daily.

I don't know. Do you have a silver Delorean parked in the garage?
