Off-Duty Deputy Kills Robbery Suspect At Raising Cane’s In The Woodlands

SHENANDOAH — An off-duty Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputy working a private job shot and killed a man who was attempting to rob a Raising Cane’s in Shenandoah Tuesday night, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

Units responded to a report of shots fired around 8:40 p.m. at the fast-food restaurant in the 1500 block of Research Forest Drive near The Woodlands in south Montgomery County.

“Reportedly an individual entered the restaurant and attempted to rob the restaurant,” Lt. Brady Fitzgerald said. “There was gunfire at the location. Several Raising Cane’s had been robbed in the (Houston) area so that’s the reason the deputy was working there.”

Two employees were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, he said.

Tamela Lambert waited outside the restaurant, where her 16-year-old son was being interviewed by law enforcement inside late Tuesday.
