ARTICLE SNIPPET: "FREEPORT — Police are asking for any help they can get in solving the Friday night shooting of a BASF security guard.

“We’re looking for anybody to come forward who might have been driving in that area that night at that time who could provide us with information,” Freeport Police Chief Henrietta Gonzalez said.

The guard, Robbie House, 43, of Angleton, was shot while on patrol at FM 1495 and High-way 36, near BASF’s ammonia terminal, about 9:15 p.m. Friday. House told police he had approached a parked pickup and questioned the driver, who said he was photographing the lights. The driver shot House in the shoulder as he turned to speak into his radio, police said.

But House, who has since been released from Brazosport Memorial Hospital, appeared on a televised news conference Monday, saying FBI agents have accused him of shooting himself.

Gonzalez said police believe House’s story. The police description of the culprit has not changed: an unshaven man with dark complexion, dark hair, a mustache and an accent believed to be Middle Eastern."

Of course the FBI would accuse him of that, it is to shake him up to see if he is lying, install doubt of belief, then will ask him to take lie detector test, just to be sure. That way they can be sure of the possible threat.

OK, now the police believe he was shot by someone of ME descent but the FBI thinks he was not because of the way his eyes looked?? I'm so confused but pinging to V & K who have been following this story with me. Thanks JP for posting that it was here or I would have missed it.

Geez, that's what I get for going to bed I am so far behind!! Going back to catching up, good thing I'm off today. :-)
