Houston police are investigating a deadly shooting that was caught on camera. A woman shot a man after he apparently attacked her in the parking lot of a gas station, police say.

That’s not my minkey.

Did she yell “this is for Zimmerman”?

Pretty funny. All kinds of stories on the local news. Apparently he had a knife, was harassing her and she opened the trunk of her car, got out a shotgun, pointed it at him and pulled the trigger. I suspect there are more Black women who are carrying than most people realize. Not sure why she had it in her trunk instead of her car though, maybe she didn’t have a license or permit and didn’t want the police to hassle her about it if she was stopped.

It’s not only white folks who feel a need to protect themselves, there are a lot of Black people out there that do also.

LOL!

...maybe she didn’t have a license or permit...

This is Texas. No permit or license required for any long gun, loaded or unloaded, in public or private, concealed or carried openly. Why in the trunk, though? Who knows.

AFAIK this has not yet been determined to be self-defense. There are alternate scenarios based on the footage.

Someone remind this black woman that the Obama-worshipping clown Al Charlatan Sharpton wants to repeal her right to protect herself!!

More footage and info. This woman is very cool about the whole thing. I'd hate to be on her bad side. Woman fatally shoots man at Houston gas station then films his body

Big guns: the ultimate argument for women’s rights and empowerment.

After she shot the guy, she took a picture of him, then left.

Just seemed a little weird. Women I know all have CHL and their gun is never far from them. Seems like having it in the trunk of your car serves little good - although it worked out okay for her.

Like you said, who knows! It is Houston, after all.

Takes my wife less than 2 seconds to produce her Ruger LC9!

Thanks for the better video. All the Trayvons there were surprised that she shot him. Let that be a lesson to them.

I thought she shot the man in the a$$.

Don't say 'ass'. Say 'rectum'. . . 'Rectum'.

[dfwgator]

Rectum?

[Sherman Logan]

All I’ve seen to date on this story is “woman shoots man.”

Women can be the aggressors, too.

Not all shooters are good guys.

[TigersEye]

Threaten me with a knife then take a swing at me. See what happens.

[Sherman Logan]

If you have evidence the dead guy threatened her with a knife or took a swing at her, that is of course different.

But “women shoots man,” in and of itself, cannot be used to demonstrate that the shooting was justified.
