Euless Police Investigate Fatal Shooting

 FEATURED SLIDESHOW: St. Cecilia's Church Fire

EULESS (CBS 11 News) ― A Euless man took a weapon into another man's home and was gunned down.

The shooting took place on the 200 block of East Ash Lane around 4 a.m. Monday.

Here's what police say happened: The victim, Brandon Couey, had been arguing with a woman when a neighbor asked the woman if she was okay. Couey, who was armed with a knife, then walked into that neighbor's apartment. That is when Couey was shot.

"We don't really know what happened – we have an idea based on witness statements," said Lt. Wayne Paulik, Euless Police Department. "We're still going to conduct a thorough investigation.

According to police, Couey then made his way across the street to a fire station. He was taken to a hospital and died.

No arrests have been made.

Police say a grand jury will ultimately decide if the shooting was a case of self defense.
