A suspected shoplifter was reportedly shot and killed by an off-duty deputy in a Texas Walmart parking lot on Thursday.

According to KHOU, the unnamed shopper was killed after she and a number of other women were spotted "stuffing items inside their purses" at a Houston Walmart before attempting to exit the store.

An employee reportedly notified the deputy, who was working "an approved extra job as security" at the Walmart store. The deputy, who works for the Harris County Sheriff's Office, is said to have confronted the women as they were leaving the Walmart, but they allegedly "would not cooperate."

As KTRK reports, authorities claim one of the women "hit the deputy with her purse" before the group ran off into the store's parking lot and got into their car.

"At that point, the deputy opened the door and commanded the driver to stop," Deputy Thomas Gilliland told the news agency. "She put it in drive, revving forward, dragging the deputy. The deputy discharged his weapon. The vehicle then fled," he continued.

Gilliland also said that the deputy may have been "knocked…off balance" and that he had fired the shot "in fear [for] his life," KHOU reports.

Though the group managed to get away, police soon found the car at a nearby apartment complex. One of the women was found dead from a gunshot wound, and another was reportedly taken into custody.

The case remains under investigation.

when off duty, 'on-duty' engagement rules apply.

If he was in fear of his life with this dragging of self by a car, most likely he'll be ok.

Lets see what develops, aye?

He only got one out of the group? He must have been low on bullets.

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."
