Harris County deputies say a robbery suspect was shot and killed by the man he was trying to rob after the man took his gun from him.
The incident happened in the 6700 block of FM 1960 W. at the The Standard at Champions Park Apartments.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, deputies came to the location at around 1 p.m. Saturday and located the suspect who died at the scene and another man at the complex. The man told deputies that two men approached him with one of them pulling out a pistol. The man was able to wrestle the gun away from the suspect and shoot him.
Deputies said the other suspect fled the scene in a silver-colored four-door sedan. A fired pistol shell and a fired rifle shell casing were found at the scene, leading authorities to believe that the other suspect was also armed.
