A man in a bandana was killed a late night shootout at a Whataburger in Southwest Houston after walking in to the fast food restaurant and starting shooting, witnesses said.

The man, whose identity has not been released, walked into the restaurant at 7629 W Bellfort about 1:o0 a.m. Saturday, possibly to rob the store and started shooting.

"As he came in, he pointed at me then he started shooting," said Dorian Johnson, a 16-year-old who was in the restaurant.

Witnesses said the security guard returned fire, hitting the man who fled the restaurant. He died in the parking lot while trying to get to his car.

Some witnesses said the man was not trying to rob the restaurant, but was there to kill someone.

"He was there to kill someone," said Bri Aunna Nance. "He wasn't there to get the money, he was there to kill people and just take people's lives for no reason."
