According to the Houston Police Department, the shooting took place in the 700 block of West Mount Houston Road near Veteran Memorial around 5:50 p.m.
Officers say the suspect had gone inside a business and began harassing people. He was reportedly told to leave before police were called to the establishment. When authorities arrived, they say they found the suspect sitting inside the business with a gun on the table. Officers allegedly gave the man a series of commands before he lunged toward that gun, which HPD referred to as an ‘Uzi’, causing officers to open fire.Copyright 2022 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.Moriah Ballard joined the KPRC 2 digital team in the fall of 2021.
