Good Samaritan fatally shoots man attacking wife

A 44-year-old man was fatally shot as he was fighting with his wife and then attacked a neighbor when the Good Samaritan stepped in to help the woman Tuesday night in north Harris County.

Victor Daniel died at the scene about 8:50 p.m. in the 23200 block of Berry Pine near Woodiver, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

The wife told investigators he was physically assaulting her when the neighbor saw the attack and tried to stop it, deputies said.

Daniel then turned on the neighbor, hitting him with a brick. Deputies said the neighbor pulled out a handgun and shot Daniel.

The neighbor was rushed to Houston Northwest Medical Center, where he was treated for a head injury. His condition was not released.

The woman was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

A Harris County grand jury is expected to review the case to determine what, if any, charges will be filed.
