Suspect critically injured after allegedly attacking maintenance worker, shot by resident
David Warner
SAN ANTONIO – A suspect has been hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after being shot by the resident of a Southside apartment complex.Around 10:50 a.m. on Wednesday, residents at an apartment complex near the corner of Utopia Lane and Goliad Road allegedly saw an unrecognized suspect peering through the windows of cars in the parking lot.
Residents of the apartment complex quickly reported the suspicious activity to management, and the complex’s manager, alongside two maintenance workers, went to confront the suspect.
When staff told the suspect to leave the property, they allegedly became hostile, shoving one of the maintenance workers to the ground and attacking them before walking off.
A witness to the attack, who is a resident of the apartment complex, approached the suspect. The suspect, in turn, allegedly produced a knife and a ‘taser.’
The resident would then produce a handgun, and the suspect would begin running away. The resident then began to allegedly chase after the suspect.
After a brief pursuit, the suspect would turn around, allegedly posturing like he was about to stab and or attack the pursuing resident with the taser.
The suspect, fearing for his life and safety, would fire a single shot striking the suspect in the abdomen.

It stopped being self-defense when the resident gave chase; he best lawer up.

The gun gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion of your walks.

What!? KHOU wasn’t there?!
Conspicuous in their absence of late. Click2 and ABC6(?) are the go to for Harris Co. in the search. You did notice in the San Antone story home boi took a knife AND a taser to the gunfight and ended up gut shot. Now we know that had to hurt. The T2NB2AGF binder has had “knife” and “taser” but this may be a FIRST (heh heh) when the perp had both.
Imma gonna go out on a limb here and say the Houston story was the “usual suspects” doing the “usual” things. “…multiple gunshot wounds…” Mag dump much?
If I so much as walk out the door, I have my companion with me. I don’t carry when I walk around inside the house from room to room because…well…you know…
For pert near $2.5K large that piece better be able to make me a sammich too…and not give me any static. It was obvious that the reviewer was, indeed, a fan boi
Re the first story, so far there is no indication the local DA is taking it to the Grand Jury for possible indictment. I do agree however it changes the self defense once the “victim” gives chase to the person he shoots afterwards.
“……multiple gunshot wounds.”
You are a GO at this station.
No further range time needed.
In the San Antone case the pursuer could reasonably argue the he feared for the safety of the apartment complex residents and was seeking to protect them.
This is allowed under Texas law to an extent.
With a non-Soros DA or a good lawyer, he has a decent chance if it comes to charges.
