Authorities said three men allegedly assaulted bank employees during a robbery and managed to pocket an undisclosed amount of cash. Their getaway was interrupted when a Houston Police officer entered the bank during his lunch break. The officer, officials said, walked straight into the barrel of a shotgun as he entered the bank building. The officer struggled with one or more of the suspects then the second officer intervened. After the robbers got into an SUV, one pointed a shotgun at the second officer, who shot and killed a man in the SUV.
