GRAPHIC: Houston police fatally shoot man after he pulled gun during hit-&-run investigation

DETAILS: On May 17, 2025, Houston Police Officers were dispatched to a crash on the freeway in the 10300 block of the North Freeway and learned that there had been a minor vehicle crash involving three vehicles. Two of the vehicles remained on the scene however a third vehicle had fled the location. Officers then moved the crash off the freeway and put a general broadcast over the radio for the possible third vehicle – a green SUV. Additional Northbelt patrol officers were able to locate the green SUV vehicle in the area and officers made contact with the driver. As the officers attempted to detain the driver of the green SUV for the crash investigation, the driver lifted his shirt up, reached for a visible gun in his waistband and pulled out the weapon. Two HPD officers then discharged their duty weapons more than once, striking the suspect. Officers began to render aid to the suspect until Houston Fire Department paramedics arrived. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. The identity of the deceased male suspect is pending verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. (HPD / News release)

Oh well, world wont miss him.

I was told this never happens. Weird

It took that dumb motherfucker 3 business days to pull that gun all the way out!

@IfindRetards this poor guy won a darwin award

Horrible situation. @CameronWest38, this is why police have to assume every encounter could turn deadly. Guy pulls a gun during a routine stop—what are cops supposed to do?

GREAT JOB by the Police Officer ... I'm so happy the Police Officers are safe and still on the job ... Thank You!

Why did he have a gun while trying to cross the border of China? Is he stupid?
