Heres the score from an Independence shoplifting case that involved a bag of meat, a wild ride atop a cars hood and a gunshot wound:
The alleged shoplifter, Loucinda M. Carroll, 41, of Independence, has been charged with second-degree robbery.
The stores manager, who was struck by Carrolls car, landed on its hood and held on during an attempted getaway, was unharmed.
And the bystander who shot Carroll will not be charged because he felt he and the manager were being threatened, authorities say. Carroll suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident began at 6:49 p.m. Saturday at the Sunfresh Grocery at 2301 S. Sterling Ave.
According to court documents:
The stores manager told police she saw a woman leaving the store with the bag of meat products. The manager yelled for the woman to stop, but she didnt.
The manager followed the suspect to her car and started writing down the license plate number. The suspect started the car and drove toward the manager, striking her. The manager fell onto the cars hood and held on as the suspect accelerated through the parking lot toward an exit onto Sterling Avenue.
Hearing screams for help and seeing the manager clinging to the cars hood, the bystander blocked the exit with his vehicle. He approached the suspect and told her to get out of her car.
The woman tried to drive around his vehicle. The bystander, who told police he feared for his life and the life of the manager, pulled out a 9mm handgun and yelled again for her to stop. He then fired through the drivers side window, striking the suspect in the left shoulder and neck.

One of more than 2 million times a year where that is the case.
An armed society is a safe society.

Shooter had a Utah permit, Missouri recognizes Utah’s permit holders. Good on Missouri.
“The alleged shoplifter, Loucinda M. Carroll, 41, of Independence, has been charged with second-degree robbery.”
How about attempted MURDER?
F*king B#tch.
She looks like she just came from a soccer game.
Looks like Hussein is about to lose another vote in 2012.
At the very least reckless endangerment.
But, she’s a victim of her circumstances.
She voted for 0bama but she’s still having to pay her mortgage and car payments and pay for gasoline. And 0bama “promised” her if she voted for him, life would become a bed or roses.
Poor woman, working for a living just isn’t something she’s ‘into’ at all. You know, getting up every morning and getting to work on time. Working all day and missing the Soaps and Oprah. Why, working would be cruel and unusual punishment! That’s not ‘fair.’

Wonder what kind of ammo it was and the extent of her injuries
Hmmmmmm
that is what one gets for ‘assuming’.
The Photo ‘shocked’ me as I figured with a name like Loucinda....better not go there I guess.
I am glad ‘F Unger’ ‘splained assume to me....
Poor deluded child (as Batman would say on the old TV series)
An intensive makeover and radical upgrade of wardrobe and we might
find her “NOT GUILTY!!!”.
(just joking...the little monster got only a taste of what she deserved)
“At the very least reckless endangerment.”
Yup, at the very least.
