Officer shoots suspected burglar at Pasadena school

PASADENA, TX (KTRK) -- A Pasadena ISD police officer shot a 14-year-old breaking into a school trailer overnight.

It happened around 12:45am at Miller Intermediate School off Fairmont Parkway near Foxmeadow.

According to the district, the officer confronted a 14-year-old male suspect. The officer says the suspect appeared to have something in his hand, possibly a bag of some sort. The officer says he felt threatened, so he opened fire, shooting the suspect in the chest.

"Before back-up arrived, the suspect came out of the building. The officer confronted the suspect at that point, and a single shot was fired," said Superintendent of schools Kirk Lewis with the Pasadena ISD.

The suspect was taken by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital and is listed in stable condition.

Investigators have confirmed the 14-year-old was not armed. The incident is under investigation.
