A video of Beto O’Rourke, the former U.S. Representative for Texas and Democratic presidential hopeful, lashing out at a heckler who was laughing as he discussed the Uvalde school shooting on Wednesday has gone viral. “It may be funny to you mother f—–r but it’s not funny to me,” snapped O’Rourke, the Democrat who is running for governor of Texas against Republican Greg Abbott in a November election – Aug 11, 2022

A customer at a restaurant and entertainment venue in suburban Dallas fatally shot a security guard after arguing over the business’ rules, police said.

Derek Phillips, 47, of Arlington, died after being shot multiple times about 10 p.m. Friday at Brickhouse Lounge in DeSoto, police Lt. Chris Huerta said Saturday in a news release.

The suspected gunman was arrested on a murder warrant after fleeing the scene, then crashing his vehicle in neighboring Glenn Heights, Huerta said.

Witnesses told police the suspect was wounded by a bystander as he fled. Huerta did not immediately respond to messages for additional comment on Saturday.

The suspect, Toussel Kuhn, 48, of Savannah, was being held in the Dallas County jail without bond. Jail records did not list an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
