A large pet tiger was loose in a Houston neighborhood and it led to this confrontation with a man who defended himself with a handgun:
According to the Daily Mail, the man with the gun is believed to be an off duty sheriff’s deputy. They also note that it’s illegal to have a pet tiger in Houston.

The Daily Mail says the owner got control of the animal and drove it away in a white vehicle. I’m sure they police will be having a chat with this owner soon enough.
