A man in a bandana was killed a late night shootout at a Whataburger in Southwest Houston after walking in to the fast food restaurant and starting shooting, witnesses said.

The man, whose identity has not been released, walked into the restaurant at 7629 W Bellfort about 1:o0 a.m. Saturday, possibly to rob the store and started shooting.

...

Witnesses said the security guard returned fire, hitting the man who fled the restaurant. He died in the parking lot while trying to get to his car.

Some witnesses said the man was not trying to rob the restaurant, but was there to kill someone.

A fast food slop joint needs armed security guards?

Sounds like a great neighborhood.

That’s what I was thinking. Used to be a halfway decent neighborhood before Katrina.

I hope the Whataburger will not lose its insurance over this. Armed security guards who use their guns are not always appreciated by insurance companies.

I appreciate what the security guard did and may have saved some life’s

[TChad]

I appreciate what the security guard did...

So do I. The guard may not be fired for using his gun in this case, since he used lethal force to defend life, not just property. Using lethal force to defend just property can result in very expensive lawsuits.

Yeah, when I worked Security, one of my assignments was the downtown McDonald’s. Never had to shoot anybody.

The Food Lion 1.4 miles from my house has an armed guard.

This rivalry between Whataburger and InAndOut burger has gotten out of hand.

No kidding!

Security guard returned fire, hitting the man.

Now that’s real gun control.
