No motive, no suspects

This sucks.

A routine security check of a north Houston business park Sunday turned up the body of a woman who was apparently shot while riding a motorcycle, police said.

A security guard found the body behind a 9-foot wooden fence at the Greenbriar North Service Center business complex on the 16000 block of Hedgecroft about 4:30 p.m.

Police found one gunshot wound.

The unidentified woman, whose feet still were on the motorcycle's pedals when she was found, appeared to be in her late 20s, police said.
Investigators have no witnesses or motive.

What kind of mortorcycle was it, anyway? Evertime I would stop without putting my feet down, the bike would tump over.

This poor chick probably did't even know she was shot. Probably pulled over to see what the funny pain was and bled to death before she could check it out. Why else would she pull behind a 9 foot fence where there was no chance of getting help?

And here is another killing in Houston, but chalk one up for the good guys:

Police say late Friday night, a couple was just getting home on Flushing Meadow at Astoria when five masked men approached them and forced their way inside the house. The husband got into a struggle with one of the intruders, took his gun away, and shot him to death.

The four other men, claiming to be FBI agents, took off in a gray Chevy Impala. Right now, the search is on for those men.

Police say a similar incident happened a week ago in west Houston, when a homeowner killed a robber after wrestling his gun away from him.

There was another one of trhese last week where the homeowner was shot but managed to kill one of the invaders. Is this what we are devolving to? I hope so. Certainly people realize that thepolice can not protect you. The police write tickets. Maybe they solve a crime every now and then after the fact, but if you are depending on the police to protect you and your family form violent crime, chances are we will read about you here one day.
