39-year-old Felix Delarosa was seen throwing a bedsheet on the robot and firing at it before getting teargassed by the device. Delarosa was wanted by Texas anti-gang unit for a separate crime when the incident unfolded.
Authorities said Delarosa fired another shot while SWAT negotiators also attempted to contact him, a local news report said.
