Man being kicked out of Texas bar shot in chest after tasing off-duty officer with own weapon

An off-duty police officer working security in Texas shot a man who managed to take his stun gun and tase him as he was being escorted out of a bar and restaurant.

San Antonio police say they responded to a Twin Peaks off Southwest Loop 410 just late Saturday night regarding a shooting in progress.  

When they arrived, they learned that restaurant staff asked a gentleman to leave after a disturbance took place. 

When the man refused to leave, an off-duty Somerset police officer working security escorted him out for “being intoxicated and belligerent,” FOX 29 reports.
