Exercising the Right
Father Defends Family at Fast-food Restaurant
Fox29 reported out of San Antonio on December 7 about a father who had to use lethal force to defend his family. The terrifying ordeal unfolded shortly before 9 p.m. when 32-year-old Carlos Molina was eating dinner with his family at a local Popeye’s fast-food chain. An armed, 19-year-old Andres Herrera entered the store and immediately pointed his gun at Molina and demanded his money. Molina explained that he used all his cash buying the meal and didn’t have any money left. Herrera then turned his gun on the store manager, who was standing behind the counter.
As Herrera yelled at the manager, two of Molina’s children exited the bathroom, where they had been when Herrera entered the restaurant. Herrera turned toward them and pointed his gun in their direction.
Molina had seen enough at this point. He quickly pulled his own pistol out and opened fire on Herrera, shooting him multiple times. Herrera collapsed to the floor and reportedly died at the scene. Law enforcement soon arrived and confirmed that Molina was lawfully armed.They also stated that Molina’s actions appeared to be justified, as he apparently shot Herrera in defense of others.
