From Click2Houston, March 16, 2004:

HOUSTON -- A security guard shot two men as they ambushed and tried to rob him Tuesday afternoon on a northwest Harris County street, officials said.



Homicide detectives told News2Houston the security guard, Eduardo Gutierrez, was transporting money when his vehicle was surrounded around 1:30 p.m. on Ella at Kuykendahl.



"They had a vehicle in front, a vehicle behind and one on the side is my understanding. When he came to a stop to go no further, some of the (men) exited the vehicles, jumped out and went around to begin to demand money, at which time, he pulled his weapon and shot," said Bruce Williams, with the Harris County Sheriff's Department.



Two gunmen were hit. Lifeflight transported one man to Memorial Hermann Hospital, while an ambulance took the other to Ben Taub Hospital. There's no word yet on their conditions.
