Reply #11: I visited and shopped in that very neighborhood years ago.

And a nice community bank in my own neighborhood in Houston had a similar situation where one teller was shot in the hand and the rest of the people terrorized. Emotionally, the staff there never really y recovered and the bank closed a year later after being there for ten years and doing a lot of good, donating, helping out people, etc.

Back then there were a lot of home invasion robberies, car jacking and other crimes going on at the time. Pearland is a suburb but all of that area is tremendously built up. I don't know that the level of crime in the Houston has increased. Growing up there, all types of crime was just a fact of life. You really had to pay attention.

Sorry to see this happening and hope it's over soon without anyone Else getting hurt.
