Title: Victim: 'It was either him or me'
Post by: Foxy Brown on March 01, 2007, 09:50:48 AM

Shirley Reed wasn't sure whether the gun was real even after the stranger fired a warning shot. But the 60-year-old woman wasn't going to give up the keys to her car.

He lunged at her, and as they wrestled on the ground, she felt the gun poking her hip.

"It was either him or me," Ms. Reed told police after the Tuesday night scrap outside her Frisco apartment building. So she grabbed the gun, turned the barrel toward her assailant's stomach and pulled the trigger.

A shot rang out, and her attacker said, "Oh, [expletive]."  (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/030107dnccocarjack.2e212af.html)

I don't think that this can be a case of 'self defense' or something, she could go to trial or jail if the guy died.

Self defense is when you can "disable" your attacker whitout any lethal consequences, but it's good that she can make the desition to shoot and not be scared about it.

Er.. I'm pretty sure if this lady was around guns, She could tell the immediate difference between a pellet/airsoft gun and a real gun. >_>  Even if the pellet gun was CO2 charged, it makes more of a loud "pop" sound rather than a bang a regular gun makes. o_O

But whatever, This just tells you not to mess with old people and their cars.  xD
