A pregnant woman and her husband opened fire on would-be armed robbers Tuesday outside a Houston gas station, authorities said.

She managed to yell out to her husband, who informed police the armed men had intended to rob his wife, the Houston Police Department said.


The pregnant woman and her husband were both armed, and a shootout erupted with the would-be robbers.

At least one of the armed men, identified as 39-year-old Mario Ipina Duque, was wounded, police said.

An initial investigation reveals the couple's actions were in self-defense.
