HOUSTON – An Off-duty Harris County Precinct 7 deputy was woken up in the middle of the night to hear someone kicking in his door, authorities said.

The deputy was asleep in his home at 7900 Wolfield at 11:55 p.m. when he saw Malek Sims, 28, kicking in his back door, according to officials.

The deputy saw two men looking in his back door, and he said he grabbed his gun and yelled at them.

Two of the men fled, but Sims was found hiding near the home.

Officials said the deputy ordered Sims to get on the ground, but Sims turned towards the deputy, and the deputy shot at him and missed.

Sims was taken into custody.

Officials have not yet released a mug shot.
