PASADENA, Texas -- A man was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer outside a Pasadena strip club Saturday.

The officer was visiting a friend who worked at Moments Gentleman's Club when two men who were in a dispute with the manager pulled guns, said police.

The off-duty officer said he pulled his gun and shot the first suspect, who police say was holding a tech-9. The second suspect reached into the vehicle in a bid to grab for another gun when the officer fired again, said police. The suspects fled the scene and were later apprehended at Bayshore Hospital, where one of them died.
