Police: Driver shot would-be robber dead at McDonald’s

A 37-year-old man was killed Saturday afternoon after he apparently tried to rob a father and his toddler son, who were in the drive-thru of McDonald’s at the intersection of FM 518 and state Highway 3 in League City, police said.

Witnesses told investigators a man walked up to a Ford F-150 pickup truck and pointed a handgun at the driver about 2:10 p.m., police said.

The driver, who is a concealed handgun license holder, pulled out his handgun and shot the man multiple times, striking him in the chest, police said.

The 37-year-old man, whose name had not been released, was taken to Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, where he died, police said.
