If there is any justice. It was the same 3.HOUSTON -- Police say a Houston jewelry store owner has shot and killed three men who tried to rob his business.
Houston police spokesman Kese Smith says two men were in the store Thursday afternoon pretending to be customers when a third man burst into the store and stated, "This is a robbery."
All three men then pulled out pistols, tied up the store owner's wife and took her to a back room.
They were trying to tie up the owner, when he took a handgun from his waistband and fatally shot one of the suspects. Smith said he then grabbed a shotgun and shot and killed the other two suspects.
The store owner was shot in the stomach and taken to a Houston hospital. Smith says his wife was not hurt.
Strip club owners need to take responsiblity for their parking lots. First of all if gangbangers are hanging around and doing deals and whatever it will give an impression on the nature of your club whether or not you would ever let them inside your doors or not. After all the church lady types are never going to see the inside of your club, only the outside. Finally you will be certain that whatever violent crime goes down in your parking lot will reported as 'robbery occurs outside of strip club'.
So put up some cameras and hire some off-duty or retired cops.
Robbers target guys walking away from the club because they have more time to assess the situation while the guy is usually walking into dimmer light and away from potential witnesses and security cameras.
Park in a well lit area, and don't pay the dancer before the dance.

A couple clubs around columbus have parking lot security attendants but I question their ability to do anything besides stare at people.
2) Not the same guys in jewelry store heist. Those guys were killed about 8 hours before the SC shooting.
BTW- Moments in a not so good neighborhood.
So put up some cameras and hire some off-duty or retired cops.
