DocM Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 $10 will get you $20 she gets a carry permit posthaste. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/police-woman-turns-gun-carjacker-shoots-him/ngdqq/ ATLANTA ? Neighbors in one community said they're on alert after a recent carjacking attempt ended with a woman shooting her attacker. The incident happened at a Ponce Highlands neighborhood a block from Ponce de Leon and North Highland avenues. Police said the attacker couldn't get the key in the ignition and then put his gun down because he didn't know how to drive a stick shift. Officers said that?s when the woman grabbed his gun and shot him. Braxton Davis was one of several neighbors on Blue Ridge Avenue who heard a woman screaming for help on May 3. Police said the woman had just gotten into her car around 10:30 p.m. when Sebastian Fontana walked up. ?At that point, she locked the doors to the vehicle. The male came up to the window and displayed a firearm in order for her to allow him into the vehicle,? said Atlanta police Officer John Chafee. Chafee said the woman let him in and Fontana told her, "We're going to have some fun." The woman also described Fontana as having a weird laugh. Police said Fontana got frustrated because he didn't know how to drive a manual transmission. He put the gun down in his lap and the woman grabbed it and tried to get out of the car. ?The suspect grabbed her, bit her several times and attempted to pull her back in the vehicle,? Chafee said. Investigators said Fontana bit her on the arm, leaving visible marks, and at some point she used his own gun to shoot him in the leg. ?It's fortunate that it happened in a community like this. You always hope that your neighbors will step up and help out,? Davis said. Neighbors called 911 and ran outside to help and keep an eye on Fontana, who police said they found in the middle of the street. Investigators said he had over $1,100 on him at the time and his own car was parked nearby. Police said there's no way to know what he intended to do next. ?In this case, she did see an opening and she took it and it worked out for her and we were able to get the suspect into custody,? Chafee said. Neighbors said it's common for people to park on the street and walk over to the restaurants and shops just a block away. It's something they're more aware of now, and keep an eye out for anyone or anything suspicious.

Stupid ass got what her deserved and hope he does some jail time for bing said ass Most US states have Stand Your Ground laws, and a typical feature of these is civil lawsuit immunity for defenders who legally shoot, bludgeon, stab, or otherwise counterattack. You could drop a car on them from a crane without liability if the circumstances were right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badb0y Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The attacker was one of you people with "licensed" and "concealed" weapons. Next time it could be your family. Beware Americans. There are people with licensed guns' out there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Got a link saying he was licensed? Criminals often aren't, and licensees have one of the lowest crime rates of any demographic. The last stat I read was between 0.1 and 0.2 percent of licenses being revoked because of a crime, and the vast majoroty of those weren't violent.

rfirth Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 $10 will get you $20 she gets a carry permit posthaste. That way, next time somebody taps on her window with a gun, she'll be able to lean over and dig through her glove box or purse, find her gun, and shoot the guy... all before he's able to just pull the trigger. In reality, he was (probably) never going to fire the gun through the window (unless she tried pulling a gun herself). She should have just driven off and let the guy run away. She nearly got herself raped and killed by letting him in. Very very lucky it worked out for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 You don't know that. Around Detroit carjackers will shoot at you sitting in the car or especially if you pull away. Some of them will shoot you after you get out to eliminate a witness. The new breed of carjackers are bold. When Detroit's new police chief came to town he was carjacked, in his squad car. Not the first cop to have that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
