A woman who emerged from Izzy's Pizza in Hazel Dell with her 5-year-old son, and was confronted by a would-be robber, displayed her 9 mm pistol, scared the man off and then helped sheriff’s deputies find him, police say.

Deputies rushed to the restaurant at 1503 N.E. 78th St. shortly before 8 p.m. Friday after the woman called 911, said Sgt. John Horch with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

The woman, a 30-year-old Clark County resident, told dispatchers she’d walked out of the restaurant to her car when a man approached and asked her to lend him money for gas.

When she declined, the man asked for $20, then came close and demanded money in a threatening tone, Horch said.

Horch said the woman reached in the driver’s door of her car, grabbed her semiautomatic pistol and put it in her waistband.

Unrelated, but Hazel Dell, in unincorporated Clark County Washington, is about 5 miles from Vancouver's Esther Short Park where another young lady recently was assaulted with acid thrown in her face.

Fortunately, this was not the case this time.

That’s one thing I’ve warned wife and kids to be aware of. Good men know better than to approach a woman or a child unknown to them, in an isolated setting, especially at night, and ask for anything. The approach should be a red flag. It should be immediately detected at a distance, and a flight or fight response prepared.
