Harris County grand jury to review fatal ER shooting by hospital security guard
A Harris County grand jury will determine whether a security guard at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Hospital is charged in the fatal shooting of a 31-year-old man inside the emergency room [1][2]. Houston police say the man arrived around 6 p.m. Saturday seeking care and told staff he was considering self-harm, then pulled a knife about three hours later and did not comply with orders to drop it [1]. Police said security discharged three Tasers, one of which brought the man down, and that he tried to retrieve the knife as guards moved to take it [1]; one account states he advanced toward guards with the knife [2].
