HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Police say a man was shot several times by two HPD Officers on Alabama near Montrose. He's in critical condition at Ben Taub Hospital after allegedly waving a gun around and not complying with their commands.
The call came in to police from eyewitnesses reporting a man waving a gun in the air near the University of St. Thomas. Neighbor Jermaine Rogers said, "I was out by the pool and I heard five gunshots."
Two Houston Police Officers shot a man described as a white male in his late 20s. HPD says the man never said anything, staring at police and disregarding commands to show his hands as he reached for a gun in his waistband.

At least he was white - we can all breathe a sigh of relief! /S

Pretty sad.
Obviously someone with mental issues.
Suicide by Cop.
White guy shot by cops?? Impossible! The MSM and Obama told me that never happens!
They put ‘Replica Gun’ in the title like the cop was supposed to know this fact.
It is around here, nowadays. And no one can make their puerile Amish comments. Sad.
I once got shot in the montrose. Couldn’t bend over for a month.

“And no one can make their puerile Amish comments.”
That’s because he wasn’t Amish.
He was a Mennonite!!
Hope everything came out alright... (still)...
