Surveillance cameras caught a deadly confrontation outside a gas station in southeast Houston Sunday evening when a 23-year-old woman shot and killed a man with a rifle.
It happened at the Gulf station in the 6800 block of Cullen Boulevard shortly before 7 p.m., according to Houston police.
Video shows a woman, who was dressed in camouflage shorts and a white t-shirt, arguing with a man near the gas pumps. At some point, she pulled out a rifle from the trunk of her vehicle and pointed it at the man.
That is when the man took a swing at her, knocking her backward. The woman then aimed her rifle directly at him and fired off several rounds.
To witnesses’ surprise, she then pulled out her cell phone and recorded the body lying on the ground.
The victim, identified by family members as 58-year-old Lewis Daniel, died at the scene. A knife was also found on the ground near him, police said.

Don't bring a fist to an obvious gun fight.
Poor ‘ritin’ skilz. The woman had the rifle.
mistake #4 - seeing the rifle and assuming she wouldn’t use it.

Somebody got shot in Houston? Say it ain’t so!
deadly weapon pulled, brandished about, that ain’t no joke son.
I bet he never tries that again.
Because of Texas’ “Don’t-Act-A-Fool” Law, she will not be prosecuted.
She probably thought he would leave her alone once she had the rifle...but then he decided that once she armed herself he was going to attack. The obvious followed.
I am interested in by interrogated by the female detective in the video.
Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight!

It appears that he socked her with his left fist, knocking her back, then she raised the rifle, but they interrupted the video of the shooting.

She clearly misunderstood the man. He just wanted to put a little whoop ass on her and never intended to really hurt her. Nothin wrong with a little whoop ass... /s
If she had been white they’d be saying she attacked the man with her face.
The brother of the guy that was shot and killed (I refuse to call him a victim) seems remarkably calm about the entire event; almost as if it was just another day in the ‘hood.
Yeah, I often go to the gas station with a knife to harass strangers....
Indeed ... those two mouth-breathers droning on that she "didn't knowed him" and that "Poochie wouldn't hurt nobody" need to get their heads straight. If possible. Swinging a knife around at folks is a good way to end up dead. Like Poochie.
May have wanted to get a picture of the knife in case it disappeared.
