Texas barber was shot by a customer over his 13 year old son’s haircut, sheriff’s office says

Texas law
enforcement officials are searching for a suspect accused of shooting a barber
over his 13-year-old son’s haircut, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s
Office.

Deputies responded Saturday to the barber shop on Franz Road in Katy, near Houston, the sheriff’s office said on Twitter, where a male employee was apparently shot around 5 p.m. by a customer. The customer fled the scene, the sheriff’s office said.

Harris
County Det. Wallace Wyatt told sources that the argument was over the haircut
given to the suspect’s 13-year-old son.

“He
went home, came back. They fixed the haircut for free and then that’s when the arguement
occurred,” Wyatt told sources.

The barber
is expected to survive, investigators told. He’s listed in stable condition.

The sheriff’s office described the suspect as a black man who may be driving a gray four-door sedan, possibly a Honda Accord.
