I mean, I just had my pistol right there on the side of my bed. I got up," Covarrubias told the station, which added that the incident took place in the Meadows of Clear Creek subdivision of southeast Harris County. > KTRK said surveillance video shows Covarrubias walking outside with his son — and only making it a few steps before the suspects open fire. > The station said Covarrubias returned fire, and the suspects sped away in what he believes is a black BMW.
