Police detectives and sheriff's investigators say the incident started in the China Garden Restaurant on Southwest Military Drive about 9 PM Sunday, when an employee of the restaurant walked in looking for a woman.
When the woman, who officials say is also a restaurant employee, wasn't there, the man pulled a gun and attempted to open fire in the restaurant but his weapon jammed.
"It started at the restaurant and then went into the parking lot and then into the movie theater," Deputy Lou Antu told 1200 WOAI news.
Investigators say some of the terrified restaurant patrons poured into the movie theater, and the gunman followed.
He opened fire, shooting one man in the chest, before Antu says an off duty sheriff's deputy who was working security at the theater shot him once.Now, I realize this is an Only One, so some folks would think this justifies not allowing folks to carry in a certain place, and other folks wouldn't want to give her credit.
Nevertheless, it again proves the old adage that the only thing capable of stopping an armed bad guy is an armed good guy.
(And in case you're wondering how the guy managed to stampede folks in by-God Texas: Democrats.)

You've probably seen the story but not it's come out that the guy in the mall in Oregon last week was stopped by an off duty security guard who was packing. He pulled his gun & when the guy saw him, he turned his gun on himself.
