re: Texas City Shooting

Harris T. Aldridge, who owns H.T.’s, said video surveillance of the incident supports the police department’s account of what happened. He said two women got into a fight inside his club and they were escorted outside.

He said the video showed one of the women firing a gun into the air. Soon after a man he said was Smith, grabbed the handgun.

“The man shot and you see (the) officer was coming up,” Aldridge said. “When he turned he had the gun still pointed. What can you say?”

“I would have probably done the same thing (if) I was the officer.”

Aldridge said the video of the incident was turned over to police.

Under Texas City Police Department policy, the officer was on modified duty until the shooting investigation is complete, officials said.
