A customer shot and killed a robbery suspect at a Mexican restaurant in Houston, Texas in the USA on Thursday night.

Houston Police say there were about 10 customers inside the restaurant when the masked man walked in, aimed a gun at them, and took their wallets and phones.

Then, as the suspect was walking out the door, one customer pulled a gun and shot him several times.

The suspect died at the scene.

Police say the suspect was actually armed with a plastic pistol – like an air-soft gun- not a real gun.

The person who shot and killed the suspect didn’t stick around.

Police said he’s not being charged with anything.

But they’d like to question him about what happened.
