Exercising the Right
“Hey, I Just Had to Shoot Somebody”
WSBTV.com reported out of Hapeville, Georgia, on April 24 about a terrifying car-jacking. The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. when a man was walking to his Mercedes-Benz, parked in the rooftop parking garage of his high-end apartment building.
In what detectives believe was an attempted robbery of the man’s vehicle, an armed robber jumped out of a car parked next to the Mercedes and yelled for the car owner to get on the ground. Fortunately, the car owner was prepared for the dangerous situation. He acted as if he were complying with the car thief’s demand to get on the ground, but then quickly crawled behind his vehicle for cover and pulled out his own gun. He opened fire on the armed suspect, hitting him multiple times.
As the wounded suspect collapsed, the victim realized there was another man in the parked car, so he fired his gun at him while fleeing back to his apartment, where he immediately called the police. The 911 call captured his exact words after being forced to shoot a deadly criminal. “Hey, I just had to shoot somebody in the top floor of the parking deck,” the man told the 911 dispatch operator. The man further explained that the suspect’s “car was parked next to mine. He got out of the car, said, ‘Hey bro! Don’t move!’ Pointed a gun at me, I pulled my gun and I shot.”
