Security guard shoots, kills man

A shootout at a Richland Hills apartment complex early Sunday left one person dead and a security guard in the hospital, according to reports.

The incident happened about 4 a.m. Sunday at the Bellaire Apartments, 7030 Baker Boulevard.

It is unclear what started the incident, but according to NBC5 and CBS 11, an armed security guard was shot and returned fire at several people attempting to flee in a minivan.

One of the bullets hit the driver of the van in the head, and after jumping a median on Baker Boulevard (also known as Highway 10), the van came to a stop off the road, the reports said. The driver died at the scene, the reports said.

Two people were in custody, the reports said, but CBS 11reported that two others had fled the scene.

The condition of the guard, who was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital, was not known.
