Breaking news you CAN get elsewhere (05-15-2007 edition)

The Chron.com Froot Loops Bureau was watching the TV news this morning:

A man is critical condition after he tried to stop a suspect from stealing his car from a gas station in southeast Houston this morning, according to televised reports by KTRK (Channel 13).

Authorities gave a reporter this account: The man walked into the gas station at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Reed with his car's engine running, While inside the store, he saw a man get inside his vehicle.

The car's owner ran out of the store and jumped on top of the vehicle to stop the suspect, but the thief began to drive off.

The man was dragged several blocks and finally fell of the car.

Paramedics found the man and rushed him to the hospital with severe head injures. He is listed in critical condition.

Police later found the vehicle at the 8400 block of Rockford and are checking the vehicle for fingerprints.

We haven't seen much from the Froot Loops Bureau in a while. It's good to know they're still keeping an eye on the television news as they enjoy their cereal in the morning.
