Houston security officer forced to shoot-kill armed suspect
HOUSTON, Texas Oct 9 2017 A security officer on duty at a local McDonald’s restaurant was forced to shoot and kill a man that he saw shooting another person.
Police said that they responded to the shooting at the McDonald’s parking lot at Cullen Boulevard and Phlox Street in south Houston at around 10:30 Saturday night.
Investigators say it started when two men got into a fight inside the restaurant and one man reportedly pulled out a gun and shot the other man in the stomach.
The security officer followed the man outside and ordered him to drop his gun and then shot the suspect. That man died on the way to the hospital.
The other shooting victim is in stable condition.
Police are checking to see if surveillance video will give them a better idea of what led to the shooting.
Police detectives say that the investigation is continuing but that they do not expect charges to be filed against the security guard at this time.
