Houston man shot during pistol purchase

A south Houston man was rushed to the hospital after he was shot Wednesday while buying a pistol at his home, police said.

The man was shot about 4:45 p.m. inside his home in the 4500 block of Alvin. His roommate later told officers that three men were trying to sell him a handgun when it accidently fired, Houston police said.

The man was taken to an area hospital in critical condition. His name was not released, but police said he is 20 or 21.

The three men fled and remain at large. The pistol has not been recovered, officers said.

There is no indication of foul play, HPD homicide detectives said.

If there is no indication of "foul play", why are the men described as "at large"?

/agree

I'll be damned if I'd leave the scene of an accident.

I have a feeling that this was no accident, rather, a fabricated story.

Maybe they were fat.

discharge of firearm in city limits is a crime I am sure
I would not leave the scene of a crime
unless I had warrants, gun was stolen, drugs involved, etc........

Yeah accident and that's the best part of town!

Maybe he was buying body armor and they just wanted to test it out.

I've bought guns FTF, but never from 3 people. Sounds like somebody had their posse with them. I put $5 on drug deal gone bad, fabricated story.

That's sound more reasonable than anything offered so far.

I doubt I've ever agree to a FTF at my home with unknown people.

And who in the world sells a p istol with live ammo? I mean really. It's so darn expensive these days anyway. Sorry yall, if I sell you a gun, I'm keeping the bullets!

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a Glock.....

 

[Code3GT]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a Glock.....

and they were the only ones professional enough to sell it loaded

Me either. If it doesn't have a hammer, I won't own it.

 

[hk boy]

fabricated story all the way
why don't victim give up names, phone numbers of gun seller to police
and how can detectives say no foul play when someone got shot??

 

[brickboy240]

Has to be a fabricated story.

Why...because everyone knows that gun stores don't have pistol ammo anymore! Come on...when is the last time YOU saw pistols for sale....AND ammo...in the same place?

LOL

Well, I'm here in Commiefornia at work (God I hate this place) and they have ammo and guns on the shelves...ofcourse that may, and I stress that is only a may, be because they make it so hard for anyone to buy a gun in the first place...I mean who needs a gun in sunny So. Cal.

 

[Big country]

sounds like to me.

 

[brickboy240]

Total BS....theres no 9mm or 45 amo at any place that sells guns in this state. LOL
