A carjacking victim may have turned the tables late Friday when he shot the suspect in the head as the man drove down the street.

I don't know who was more suprised, the carjacker or the people he ran into.

[pissant]

Nice.

[cripplecreek]

LOL That's 'thwarted' alright.

[Bahbah]

Chalk one up for the good guys, and nice shooting.

[dfwgator]

I love a story with a happy ending.

[rogue yam]

Yep. That'll do 'er.

shoots suspect in head... And I hope he learns a lesson!

[jazusamo]

Ouch...Must have a hard head.

I love to see a good "gun control" story. :o)

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

That's good. Anyone who tries to invade the space and privacy of another and to hurt him/her needs to be shot.

Payback's a b*tch, ain't it?

"Detectives were trying to determine whether the two men knew each other. The vehicle owner was taken to the Denver Police Department for questioning."

I don't know if it's a good guy..it may very well have been an argument over something (not a carjacking) that led to the shooting..

It seems the police aren't truly taking the "victims" account at face value..more to come, I'm sure..

How gun control should work.

[The Great RJ]

Saved the people of the state a lot of money trying and incarcerating this guy. He got what he deserved.

[cong. dance leader]

I think you may be right, I wondered if this was a "red-on-red" incident

[Marauder]

This also happened a number of years ago in San Antonio: A man was stopped at a traffic signal close to the bus depot. The carjacker had a 9mm pistol in his hand and was walking toward his intended victim, blissfully unaware that he was on his way home from the gun range, where he was trying out his new .44 black powder revolver. As it happened, he still had a couple of cylinders loaded and capped. Buh-bye, bad guy.

Another happy ending, except for the cleanup.

The guy either needs a hotter load or more gun.

[Bahbah]

So it may not be just some innocent guy who got jumped.

Holding fire for more details.
