Houston neighbor shot by off-duty patrolman might have been at wrong unit

A Houston man shot by an off-duty highway patrolman, who considered his neighbor to be an intruder, might’ve been mistakenly seeking “access to the wrong apartment,” building owners said Tuesday.

The near-deadly incident unfolded early Monday morning as the off-duty law enforcement agent fired one shot through a closed door at an upscale apartment building near the Houston Astros’ Minute Maid Park, authorities said.
