Humble police on Sunday killed an armed suspect who fatally shot a good Samaritan assisting officers during a foot chase outside Deerbrook Mall, according to Humble Police Lt. Eric Squier.

Police could not yet release the identity of both men, Squier said. No other injuries were reported.

Humble police were called to a "weapons disturbance" at the mall around 2:45 p.m. A woman reported that her boyfriend pulled a gun on her.

When police arrived, officers confronted the man at the Sears entrance, Squier said. The man started running through the parking lot toward Highway 59 as police gave chase, Squier said.

The good Samaritan joined the chase and tackled the suspect, who then shot the good Samaritan once, Squier said. Officers fired multiple rounds at the suspect behind a Men's Warehouse, he said.

Both men were pronounced dead at the hospital. The woman who originally reported the disturbance was not injured.
