its good that she did what she had to do, though i see no mention of the fact that she must have left her keys in the ignition for things to have gotten this far;

A woman shot a man in the head as he tried to steal her SUV with her two children inside Wednesday night, Dallas police say.

An employee of a gas station in the 200 block of West Camp Wisdom Road, near the border with Duncanville, alerted the mother about 10 p.m. that a man was trying to get into her SUV.The mother, identified by KDFW-TV (Channel 4) as Michelle Booker-Hicks, told the station she had been paying for gas at the time.

She jumped into the vehicle. When the man didn't stop, she pulled a gun from the glove box and shot him in the head, police said.

The vehicle then crashed into a utility pole.

Booker-Hicks told KDFW she had recently gotten the gun to defend herself.

"I had to do what I had to do to defend what was mine, which are my kids," she told KXAS-TV (NBC5).

She said she told the man her children were in the back seat and to pull over but he didn't listen, so she went to the glove compartment and grabbed the gun..........read and watch more......
