texas - Three teenagers in Texas tried to rob a man but got shot in the process by the intended victim.

Three teenagers attempted to rob a man in Houston, Texas and ended up getting shot by the man they were targeting. The man and his girlfriend initially thought it was a joke when they were held at gunpoint by the young boys outside his apartment, as reported by ABC 13. The man, who was also armed, managed to injure three of the teenagers, with one of them, a 12-year-old, being critically wounded and hospitalized. The 12, 13, and 14-year-old boys have been taken into custody.

The man who opened fire will not face charges, according to the police, as he cooperated fully with the investigation. A bystander called emergency services after hearing one of the teenagers screaming for help on the street. It is still unclear whether the teenagers were actually armed or if they were carrying a replica gun.
