Montgomery County officials are searching for an armed man responsible for an aggravated robbery.

It happened at a home in the 19000 block of Laurette Drive in Porter, Texas just after midnight Wednesday.

That’s east Montgomery County.

A 61-year old victim told deputies the armed and masked man approached him outside his home at around 12:30 Wednesday morning and demanded money.

The gunman reportedly forced the victim inside his home and held him and two others at gunpoint until they gave the suspect money.

The suspect then ran away, that’s when, officials say, the homeowner shot at the suspect.

Deputies believe the suspect was shot because blood was found at the scene.

No one else was hurt.

Anyone with information should call the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office detectives at 936-760-5876 or the Sheriff’s Office Communications Center at 936-760-5800.
