HPD: Officer shoots and kills man who threatened police with chunk of concrete
The shooting happened Friday afternoon, but police said the man’s threatening behavior began that morning.
HOUSTON — A man was shot and killed by police in northwest Houston Friday afternoon after that man reportedly threatened officers with a slab of concrete.
It happened a little after 3 p.m. near the intersection of Hammerly Boulevard and Wirt Road.
At a news conference Friday evening, HPD Assistant Chief Yasar Bashir gave a timeline of events that led up to the deadly shooting.
It started at around 8:30 a.m. when a security officer reported a man threatening him with a bat near the intersection of Long Point and Wirt. That security guard tried to use a Taser on the suspect, but it wasn’t effective. Police were called, but couldn’t find the man.
Then at around 3 p.m., the security officer called police again after spotting the suspect. Two officers responded and found the man walking with a bat in a strip center. According to Bashir, the suspect started acting aggressively toward them.
“The officer gave commands to put it down in English and in Spanish multiple times,” Bashir said.
Officers used their Tasers on the suspect, but they weren’t effective. Bashir said it was likely because the suspect was wearing a heavy jacket.
The suspect then crossed Hammerly and picked up a chunk of concrete and threatened officers. That’s when one of the officer fired at the suspect, hitting him multiple times. Bashir said officers provided aid to the suspect, but he didn’t survive.
