Nbcnewyork.com reports: The mother had stepped inside the gas station when a man climbed into the driver’s seat and tried to drive away, according to police.
The woman jumped back into the vehicle and ordered the man to stop the car, police said.
When he refused, she pulled a gun from the glove box and shot the man, who then drove the SUV into a utility pole, according to police.
The children, who police described as toddlers, and the mother were not hurt.
The man, identified by police as 36-year-old Ricky Wright, was transported to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.
He was charged with two counts of unlawful restraint and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Police said the investigation is ongoing.

Great job Mom great job doing what a mom and parent should do and be able to do, protecting their own. Imagine if she did not have the gun what could or might have happened. Of course calling the police after the fact would have been the solution for the cowards and weak sucks that think something else should protect us all.
so it’s just assumed this guy is a pedo??? maybe, he was just trying to steal the car and didn’t realize there were kids in it…. very poor reporting here.
He may be a known pedo, by authorities.
i’m not saying the guy is innocent… he got what he deserved… but there’s no history here that he’s a pedo… the reporting is poor… that’s it…
Agreed. There was a lack of continuity between being called a pedo in the headline and the content of the article.
Don’t mess with MamaBear’s cubs, especially in Texas!
Ricky Wright should be charged with auto theft, attempted kidnapping, and multiple counts of endangering a child as well. Let’s cover all the bases.
This guy needs to be placed into a cell 3×5 feet and left there to rot. Make it extremely cold for daytime and extremely hot for night times.
