May 18, 2005 -- Houston police are investigating the fatal shooting of two men at 7440 Dillon about 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17, 2005.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant J.T Wyers and Officer D. R. Shorten reported:

Witnesses said Paul was a business owner in the area and was taking a female employee home. The female employee arrived home where she found the suspect, a man with whom she had been having an affair with, inside. It appears the suspect broke into her home and was armed with her husband's weapon. The female went outside and advised Paul that she had a problem. Paul, who held a concealed handgun license, went inside to confront the suspect and shots were fired.
