HOUSTON -- Houston police on Monday were questioning the bouncer of a strip club who claims he was forced to shoot a customer over the weekend.

The customer was apparently drunk and angry about being told to leave the establishment.
Witnesses said he got a knife from his car and started slashing tires.
When the bouncer tried to stop him, the customer allegedly lunged at him with the knife.
That’s when the bouncer pulled out his weapon and opened fire.
