HOUSTON — A man being robbed at gunpoint was accidentally shot twice by a security guard that was trying to help him, according to Houston police.
It happened in the parking lot of a nightclub off the North Freeway near West Road just after 3 a.m. Sunday.
We're told the security guard saw two masked men with guns approach a victim in the parking lot. One of them grabbed the victim which led to the guard opening fire, but he accidentally hit the victim twice.
Police said the guard managed to keep one of the suspects at the scene until help arrived. They also said the other suspect escaped in a gray Dodge Charger.
The robbery victim is expected to survive and HPD's Robbery Division is investigating the incident.
