Officer-Involved Shooting Near Northwest Mall: MyFoxHOUSTON.com
A Houston police officer, who worked a second job as a security guard at a nightclub, was involved in a shooting on the parking lot of Northwest Mall.
The shooting took place around 2:15 a.m. Monday outside El Chaparral on the mall complex.
Five officers were working security at El Chapparal and were helping control parking lot traffic after the nightclub closed when gunshots were fired.
Houston Police Department spokesman Kese Smith said a man behind the wheel of a black BMW car was driving the vehicle erratically through the parking lot.
Smith also said the car was moving toward officers and people who were leaving from El Chaparral. The BMW driver lost control of the car, which caused the BMW to strike several other vehicles.
When the apparently-armed driver stepped out of the BMW, an HPD sergeant fired his weapon at the driver.
The driver was struck in the hand and tried to run away from the parking lot on foot, but was captured by officers and taken to Ben Taub General Hospital to be treated for his wounds.
