Perhaps since he was at the wheel and she was in the back seat she was worried about what would happen with a zombie at the wheel. As is, it didn't go great, though thankfully the innocent were not hurt.
Eh, that last one's not really true. If you're already making the case that you were afraid for your life, it's really not out of the question to have just kept pulling the trigger until it stopped going bang.
Spoken like someone who's never had to justify the use of deadly force.
EVERYTHING, from the type of gun and bullets used to the position from which it was fired, and yes - the number of times it was fired, will be used to sway a jury's decision.
That is what I teach as well. I presume you understand that there is a difference between firing until the threat is neutralized and firing until your ammunition is depleted.
Wondered why there was no mention of, "The riots are scheduled to began at five pm at a nearby Wendy's, Harris will be at his bedside tomorrow in a show of support."
Booker-Hicks had just purchased her firearm for self defense earlier that week. She had no idea she would be using it so soon. Booker-Hicks did not have a license to carry, but Texas police confirm that citizens are allowed to carry firearms inside their vehicle without a license.
Another case of enabling crime by allowing lawbreakers to rack up disgusting and lengthy criminal histories.
We need a crime law that keeps criminals behind bars after a certain number of convictions. Could be called, 3 strikes law or something of that nature.
I like the last bit of the article,
"Booker-Hicks had just purchased her firearm for self defense earlier that week. She had no idea she would be using it so soon. Booker-Hicks did not have a license to carry, but Texas police confirm that citizens are allowed to carry firearms inside their vehicle without a license."
So if that doesn't prove don't mess with Texas I don't know what will :)
“ Michelle Booker-Hicks of Dallas, Texas shot a carjacker in the face as he attempted to steal her car, which still had her 2 and 4-year-old sons inside.”
“I proceeded to jump in my backseat and told the gentleman to stop, to get out the car. He would not get out of the car. He turned around and looked at me,” she told Fox 4 News. “I reached over the armrest to get my glove compartment and that’s when I fired at him once I got the gun from my glove compartment.”
That was one pretty damn good warning shot! Like she said, she should have emptied the "clip." Now the guy gets to walk back into society with one more serious felony. That's exactly right. She should have emptied the clip, and put this guy out of all our misery.
“She continued to say that she had intended to fire a warning shot, but now wishes she had “emptied the whole [magazine].”
Lesson time kids. Do not ever talk to the police after a self defense incident without a lawyer present, and never ever ever talk to the media. This POS probably has 4 baby mamas lined up waiting on that wrongful death suit money.
Good job. I understand being a rookie with handgun, but please, if you make sure you kill the perp it saves everyone much time, money and hassle warehousing and feeding them.
Sad but true. I really do feel for these poor people stuck living with murderous criminals, because there are many, many more good honest people than there are thugs. But the thugs get all the attention and support from media and politicians because there is money to be made off of crime. Meanwhile, a poor black family buries another innocent killed in a drive by.
Good. He deserved to get shot in the face.
All BLM and ANTIFA THUGS as well. Just had to add that in there.
Good good you said the right names but now ,when does the dark side compell them to burn, loot and pillage Dallas in his innocence?
If she did call him a ninja it won't go too far, as she looks to be at least a shade or two darker than he is.
Umm can we not let this guy out this time? Thx
"I meant for it to be a warning but I should have emptied the whole clip."
His warning was the closed doors to her vehicle. This isn't a fucking naval battle...
Perhaps since he was at the wheel and she was in the back seat she was worried about what would happen with a zombie at the wheel. As is, it didn't go great, though thankfully the innocent were not hurt.
Exactly. Another dead violent bleep.
nope, he lived.
She probably had ball rounds. Too bad.
Thats why you double tap
Someone tries to take my kids, they get the whole mag.
interesting how she said she wished she'd emptied the gun in him lol
Correct shot placement is cheaper, more effective, reduces risk to innocent bystanders, and is easier to defend in court.

I'd believe you, but I don't. All self defense classes I've taken have been very clear; you do not stop firing until the threat is stopped.
That is what I teach as well. I presume you understand that there is a difference between firing until the threat is neutralized and firing until your ammunition is depleted.
She actually said in the interview that she should have emptied the whole clip on the guy. xD
Don't worry, his life is going to be short and painful. Getting shot in the head is terrible for your health.
pUt PrEsSuRe On It.
bust on me fo real!
Just slap a mask on it.
A wee little 9mm hole size mask. Wouldn’t wanna get the ‘rona through your new face-hole”
How does one survive getting shot point blank right under your eye.
Sounds like it came from below and behind, so it probably missed the brain.
By blowing your jaw apart but missing your brain.
You do not get between a mother bear and her cubs. Every damn fool knows that.
Or maybe, just MAYBE, you don't try to steal what isn't yours? Then you don't have to worry about whether or not a mama bear is around.
Just saying.
I'm 45 years old and have never once tried to steal someone else's property. Weird.
Wondered why there was no mention of, "The riots are scheduled to began at five pm at a nearby Wendy's, Harris will be at his bedside tomorrow in a show of support."
get your guns asap!
Talk about a big redpill for her and her circle of friends.

You'll have to check your state's specific laws. But many states do consider your vehicle as an extension of your home.

Not letting a black man steal your car and kidnap your children is rascist. - CNN
For context, this was reported on 5 July 2018 (occurred the night before).

Unfortunately, the animal in this instance survived and will probably go on to victimize others.
Load hollowpoints, boys and girls. If you're going to shoot, make sure they die.
That’s how we roll in Texas, y’all
God made men and women. Smith and Weston made them equally dangerous
She said she meant to fire a warning shot. Never say this. However, Given innocent children are involved it should be clear cut self defense
“ Michelle Booker-Hicks of Dallas, Texas shot a carjacker in the face as he attempted to steal her car, which still had her 2 and 4-year-old sons inside.”
Best thing I’ve read all day.
“I proceeded to jump in my backseat and told the gentleman to stop, to get out the car. He would not get out of the car. He turned around and looked at me,” she told Fox 4 News. “I reached over the armrest to get my glove compartment and that’s when I fired at him once I got the gun from my glove compartment.”
You know she had her gun on her, lmao... She was just covering her ass with the whole "glove compartment" line, good for her!
I wondered about that, thanks :)
Ooooooh I get it!
Grateful her kids are safe!
Reminder to self not to steal someones car... oh wait, I already had that one figured out!
He found out after effn around
best news all year.
damn i m issed it, must have been drunk
She is way to drunk to type.
Please note that it is completely legal to drive around with a gun in your car in TX with no permits or licensing.
This made my day. How would this have ended otherwise?
Has gofundme been setup for this jogger?
That was one pretty damn good warning shot! Like she said, she should have emptied the "clip." Now the guy gets to walk back into society with one more serious felony. That's exactly right. She should have emptied the clip, and put this guy out of all our misery.
Douche bags are looking to see if she can be charged for leaving her kids in the car and her shooting this piece of crap.....
Ofc, he already has prior mugshots
Shows that she probably bought cheap FMJ
“She continued to say that she had intended to fire a warning shot, but now wishes she had “emptied the whole [magazine].”

What a tragedy. The perp lived.
Shot him under the eyeball and he survived. What was the trajectory of the bullet? What caliber?
FAFO'd
I don't have a car gun, mostly because I'm worried about it getting stolen, but dang... Think I might get one special for my car.
Good for her. We don’t need people that endanger some strangers kids like that just for their own gain. Nice shoot, lady.
This story is over 2 years old
Good job. I understand being a rookie with handgun, but please, if you make sure you kill the perp it saves everyone much time, money and hassle warehousing and feeding them.
I wish she had emptied the mag too.
Do not fuck with mama bear.
What a feel good story. Well done Momma Bear
It’s not about black VS whites (I suspect the shooter is black) it’s law abiding citizens VS criminal democrats.
Nothing like a story with a happy ending.
From 2018. Old news is so exciting.
This was great, it was a local story. FROM 2 YEARS AGO.
Well it was black on black crime, so nobody cares except the people involved. It's local and was big for a few days at the time.
Sad but true. I really do feel for these poor people stuck living with murderous criminals, because there are many, many more good honest people than there are thugs. But the thugs get all the attention and support from media and politicians because there is money to be made off of crime. Meanwhile, a poor black family buries another innocent killed in a drive by.
Somebody just "found out."
Makes no sense why he'd try to steal it. You can't go jogging in a car.
Another problem solved...
I loved the caption under that mugshot:
"Rick Wright mugshot photo from prior arrest."
Well...yeah.
I hope they are able to save the man's life ... So she can shoot him in the head again.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😎🇺🇸💪
