Woman Shoots, Kills Would-Be Armed Robber After He Allegedly Put Gun to Her Neck
KFOR ^ | AUGUST 5, 2016 | K. QUERRY

Posted on 08/05/2016 11:49:52 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Carolann Miracle says it is a day that she will never forget.

Early Monday morning, Miracle was leaving a gas station with her family when she met Frank Taylor, who asked her for a cigarette.

Seconds later, KNXV reports that Taylor attempted to rob her.

Miracle says that Taylor put the gun to her neck and told her not to move, but he likely didn’t know that she was also armed.

At that point, Miracle says she knew she had to act to protect her family.

“I dropped my soda, released my gun from my holster and cocked it. I shot him and ran in the opposite direction,” she told KNXV.

Taylor later died, which is something that Miracle is still dealing with to this day.

Sometimes you don’t need a Miracle, just somebody named that.

Looks like she carries a Glock. She should carry with a round in the chamber. She got lucky.

“Cocked it”?

What modern HG’s require cocking? A 1911?

The case has been handed over to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. They will determine whether Miracle will be charged, which is standard procedure in these types of cases.

I think she meant “racked it.” Like I said, she got lucky.

I believe that's where Joe Arpaio is Sheriff.

Happy ending!

Understand some people have a hard time with such a thing even if they were in the right. Hence, prayers for her.

1: Really crappy website in terms of bandwidth and a billion ads.

2: She is completely nuts allowing the TV station to show her face.

3: Otherwise, congratulations on a job well done.

She won’t be. It is just SOP for any shooting.
