Pretesting for Danny Ray Thomas

Authorities in Houston are investigating an incident in which a man was fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy last week at a busy intersection. Cell phone video obtained by CNN affiliate KPRC shows Danny Ray Thomas, with his pants around his ankles, approaching the Harris County Sheriff's Office deputy, who is backing away with his gun pointed at Thomas' chest. Moments later it shows Thomas lying prone in the street as the deputy attends to him. Thomas, 34, died last Thursday from a single gunshot wound. An investigation is underway with the Houston Police Department and the district attorney’s office.
