Deputies were dispatched. (LE Arrival on-scene – Officer Involved Shooting) The first responding Deputy arrived at the listed address at about 10:26 p.m. and attempted to contact the caller or occupants of the residence by knocking on the front and back doors, which were locked, but received no response. While the Deputy was returning to the front yard, the decedent (later identified as Mark VIGH) exited the front door and rushed toward the Deputy holding a knife above his head. Following ignored commands to stop and drop the knife, the Deputy discharged his handgun, striking Mark VIGH, who collapsed in the yard. The Deputy called for EMS and initiated medical intervention until EMS arrival. (Medical Transport/ Death Pronouncement at Medical Facility) Mark VIGH was transported from the scene to Memorial Hermann – Katy Hospital (23900 Katy Fwy, Katy, Harris County, TX 77494), where he was pronounced deceased at 2326 hours by Dr. M.
