A man died after he was shot by a uniformed investigator with the Liberty County District Attorney’s Office who was working security at a restaurant Sunday night, according to the Houston Police Department.

This happened just after the restaurant closed around 11 p.m. at 300 Gulfgate Mall near the Gulf Freeway in southeast Houston.

Houston police said officers responded to reports of a shooting and found the man with multiple gunshot wounds lying in the parking lot outside the restaurant. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators said the man was escorted out of the restaurant after the business had closed but returned a few minutes later with a tire iron in hand. That is when one of the employees at the restaurant alerted the Liberty County investigator.

The man then charged the Liberty County officer who then opened fire on him hitting the man multiple times, police said. The man then stumbled outside the restaurant where police found him.

A 13-year-old old boy was shot while allegedly breaking into a vehicle Sunday in Chicago’s Oakland neighborhood, according to police.

The teen was allegedly seen breaking into a Kia just after 2:30 p.m. in the 3700-block of S. Langley Avenue when he was confronted by the owner, police said.

The vehicle’s owner, who is a valid CCL holder, fired shots toward the teen, striking him in the leg.

The teen was transported to Comer Children’s Hospital and the vehicle’s owner was taken in by police for questioning, officials said.

A weapon was recovered from both the 13-year-old and the vehicle’s owner, police said.

“The key fallacy of so called gun control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available.” ~ Thomas Sowell
