St. Louis woman kills her own carjacker
2020-10-21
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A 29 year old St. Louis woman jumped into her own car, retrieved her own weapon, and shot a carjacking suspect. He later died of a gunshot wound to the stomach.

The incident happened around 3:30pm on Monday on North Vandeventer, as the victim was on the way to get her paycheck and was attacked trying to get back into her car.

According to local news source 5 On Your Side, the suspect was ready to drive away, as the woman jumped into her own car, found her weapon she had stored there, and shot him once in the stomach.

The man then drove away in the vehicle, but apparently didn't get very far. The next police district over got a call regarding a car accident. Officers reporting to the scene found the car with the critically injured suspect inside.

The man was rushed to a local hospital but pronounced dead minutes later.

The victim was interviewed by detectives and then released. No charges were laid.

#9  My bet is his death was attributed to the car crash, or covid.

#8  Well if you can't kill your own carjacker, whose carjacker can you kill?

#4  Given it's St Louis, and no charges were filed, you have to assume either the jacker wasn't black or the driver was.

#3  I'm surprised she wasn't arrested. I guess Mo has better laws than the rest of the Blue states.

#2  We need to setup a GO-AMMO-ME system.
Where such self defenders are rewarded with a box of New Replacement Ammo.

Given they have done a great service by eliminating a obvious great threat to the community, a drain on limited resources and in doing so have depleted their own private ammo stock.

#1  Good for her! Didn't just kill her attacker, but killed him slow.
