PHOENIX - An attempted armed robbery suspect has died after the woman he tried to rob grabbed her own gun and shot him, according to the Phoenix Police Department. Investigators said the man tried to force his way into her home at the Bonaventure mobile home park along 7th Street near Union Hills Drive after 11 p.m. Tuesday night.

The victim's two children were still near the car in the carport, and police said her oldest child warned her of the man approaching.

Police said she struggled with the man to close the door on him. It didn't work so she grabbed her gun and shot him.

If you like the freedom to carry guns, AZ’s the place for you. They love their guns here and the bad guys (should) know they aren’t going to get away with the same sh#t they can in Leftist anti-gun states.

“0% Recidivism.”

And ZERO taxpayer dollars spent on trying and incarcerating him. Do we have a pic of the dead guy?

I pray that she has peace over this. The taking of a life even in self-defense is no small matter.

From the article:

“The suspect was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Phoenix police made no arrests in the case.”

Question: Who would they arrest?

“Dammit.” She held up her open fanny pack. “My snubby.”

“Your what?”

“My revolver. I dropped it when you pushed me into the canal.”

“Well, what do you need a gun for?” She gave him a look that made him feel stupid.

“Wouldn’t you like to have one right about now?”

“I see your point. I’ll tell you what. I’ll replace your camera and your phone and your gun.”

She sighed. “That one was special.”

“How can a gun be special?”

“It was a graduation present.”

“A graduation present? What kind of psychopath gives a girl a gun for graduation? A car I could see, but a gun?”

“You’re calling my dad a psychopath? You? The guy who just crashed a truck into a bridge?”
