Just after 4 pm, Harris County Deputies responded to a disturbance at the Portofino Apartments at 910 Cypress Station Drive, just off FM 1960 and I-45. Deputies went to the second-floor landing of the apartment where they were confronted by a 49-year-old male acting very belligerent and suicidal. The male came at the deputy with a drill at which time the officer drew his weapon and fired once into the chest of the male-killing him.
The call originally came into 911 from a woman who stated there was a disturbance with an intoxicated male and she was worried that he would hurt himself.
According to neighbors the man moved to Houston from Chicago last August and was employed doing mapping for the airlines. They said he never had caused any issues except for today when one neighbor said he cussed her out in the parking lot for no reason.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office is assisting in the investigation.
Additional details when they become available.
