A head injury was supposedly the cause of death for a Houston man who died after he was shocked by a Taser gun.  The incident occurred when a Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy pulled the man over during a routine traffic stop Monday evening at approximately 6 p.m.  The officer ordered the driver to get out of his white pick-up truck and there was a brief struggle in which the officer was hit in the chest before the man began to run away.  The man got about 75 feet away before the police officer used his Taser to stop him in his tracks.

When the man fell to the ground, he hit his head.  He was taken by emergency personnel to Northwest Medical Center where he underwent surgery for the injuries he sustained in the incident.  An investigation is still pending.
