HOUSTON TX Feb 22 2016 – KHOU

One man is injured after police say a security guard shot at him when the man attempted to run him over outside a bar in northeast Houston.

Police say a security guard at Emiliano’s Sports Bar at Lyons Avenue and East Freeway Service Road asked a man whom he said was intoxicated and causing a disturbance to leave the bar around midnight on Saturday. The suspect then went outside where the guard watched him walk over to his

car, get inside and floor it, racing toward the guard in an attempt to run him over.

The security guard, in fear for his life and the safety of others, pulled out a gun and shot at the suspect in the chest. The suspect was transported to Ben Taub Hospital in serious but stable condition.

The security guard was not injured during the shooting. khou
