The security guard pulled over to confront the man, police say, but the man almost ran over him.

That’s when the security guard pulled out a gun and shot the man three times, police said. The man was shot in the head and was transported to Brooke Army Medical Center in critical condition.

As of 6:30 a.m. Saturday, the security guard had not been charged in connection to the shooting.
