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 came to the hospital around 6 p.m. Saturday seeking care and told staff he was thinking about self-harm, then about three hours later produced a knife and did not comply with orders to drop it [1]. Investigators say security discharged three Tasers, one of which brought the man to the ground, and that he attempted to retrieve the knife as guards moved in [1].
