SAN ANTONIO – A security guard at a North Side gentlemen’s club shot a suspect in the head after the man tried to rob a group of people at gunpoint, according to San Antonio police. The incident happened just after 12:30 a.m. Monday in the parking lot of Perfect 10 Men’s Club, near Loop 410 and San Pedro Avenue. Police said the suspect first set a stolen car on fire at a gas station on Perrin Central Boulevard, then he stole another vehicle. He drove that vehicle to the strip club and bumped into cars in the parking lot, police said. At one point, he lowered his window and tried to rob a group of people with a rifle. According to SAPD, a security guard saw the attempted robbery and opened fire at the suspect, hitting him in the head. The suspect, who has not been named by SAPD, was taken to University Hospital in critical condition. The incident is under investigation. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

I've seen the security there. They look like off duty cops or dudes with training. Geared up with protective vests and the whole nine.

The guy sounds like a meth head...or pcp But the security was out of line to kill him. Extrajudicial killings should be punished. Theft doesn't deserve a death penalty.

Icee the man is not dead. At least not yet but critical. Security was doing what he was hired to do. Protect employees and customers. He stopped the guy from firing at the group of customers. Do you think security should have just walked over and asked him to please not shoot anyone?

Icee you are way off base. Gun point robberies are very specific cases where lethal force is perfectly justified. Your attempt to conflate theft with robbery is intellectually dishonest. Theft involves non-confrontational stealing. No confrontation- no chance of the innocent victim getting killed. Robbery always involves a confrontation. Since the suspect is threatening the safety of the victim there is perfectly legitimate right to use that level of force against the criminal. Period.

Once a perp pulls out a weapon/gun, then all bets are off for lack of a better-word - w.r.t. a gun one doesn't have the luxury to wait to see what the perp does; that's the unfortunate reality
