Off-duty deputy kills man who attempted to rob him


Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle

An off-duty Harris County sheriff's deputy shot and killed a man who tried to rob the deputy outside a restaurant early Sunday morning, the sheriff's office said.

The deputy was in the parking lot of an IHOP restaurant at 19989 Katy Freeway near Fry Road about 4:20 a.m. when 19-year-old Kristopher Brandon Moore of Katy drew a knife on the deputy, authorities said.

The 14-year veteran deputy assigned to the narcotics division drew his weapon and fired at Moore, killing him. The sheriff's office did not identify the deputy.

The office said another Katy man believed to be driving a getaway car was arrested.

Christopher Adam Herrera, 18, was charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon."

Another one brings a knife to a gunfight. Darwinism is working quite well.

Maybe he's too young to buy a gun off the street. Yeah, that's the ticket.

You mean about bringing a knife to a gunfight? Hopefully never.

If you mean not robbing people, not soon enough. I think Darwin will always have a job. They say natural selection improves the species, but I don't think it is working fast enough.

Very good. Too bad this is the exception, as most of the time the victim gets hurt.

Yeahbut, (thats a good Redneck Texan word) most of them victims dont bring a gun to a knife fight like the officer did.
