The Killeen Police Department was dispatched early Wednesday morning after an exchange of gunfire between individuals allegedly stealing a car and the car’s owner, according to KPD.
Police spokeswoman Ofelia Miramontez said a resident was in his home at the 4400 block of Jeff Scott Drive when he heard one of his vehicles being started up in his driveway. He found that his sedan was being stolen after he went to investigate.
The resident followed the stolen vehicle in a Tahoe. When the driver in the stolen vehicle pulled into a cul-de-sac on Eula Bea Court, the vehicle’s owner stopped and left his vehicle and approached.
At that point, “one individual got out of the stolen vehicle and began to discharge a firearm towards him,” according to KPD.
The car owner returned fire, injuring the suspect, police said.
Officers were dispatched at approximately 12:30 a.m. Wednesday to the 4000 block of Eula Bea Court in reference to a gunshot victim.
The suspect was transported to a local hospital.
Police said the investigation is still active.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
A gunfight over a stolen car. If we allow people to steal and get away with it, we get more theft.
Unfortunately, you cannot rely on the police to do their job.

They didn’t say what kind of car it was?
Kia? Hyundai?
Nice work on the owners part.

Criminals caught stealing cars need to have their licenses revoked in perpetuity. In addition, they should never be allowed to register a vehicle - the same as they do removing computers from hackers and banking from financial criminals.

I am willing to be that probably 90% of the car thieves don’t have licenses.

Car-jackings have become very popular in this area lately. Don’t know what’s up.

Killeen is a rough ghetto town.
