A man died, another injured and a third individual was questioned by police following a hail of bullets Friday evening at a fast food restaurant in Port Arthur.
Port Arthur Police Department deputy chief Reid Rowe said two subjects armed with handguns were robbing Church’s Chicken “when an armed citizen intervened.”
The bloodshed took place around 8:45 p.m. at 1849 Jefferson Drive in Port Arthur.
Several shots were fired and both suspects were hit, according to Rowe, who said the suspects fled and were then located by police.
“One of the suspects has been declared dead by hospital staff, and the other is currently being treated by emergency room personnel,” a statement from Port Arthur police said overnight.
The name of the deceased is not disclosed at this time, pending notification of the next of kin.
The citizen who intervened remained at the scene, Rowe said, and after being questioned by detectives, was released.
The PAPD’s Criminal Investigation Division is investigating the fatal shooting.
