DALLAS -- A mother of two said she was pumping gas just after 10 p.m. Wednesday night in southern Dallas, when a man jumped in her car and tried to drive away with her two kids inside.

Instead of hesitating, Michelle Booker-Hicks told FOX 4 in Dallas that she did what she had to in order to save her kids.

"I proceeded to jump in my backseat and told the gentleman to stop, to get out the car. He would not get out of the car. He turned around and looked at me. I reached over the armrest to get my glove compartment and that's when I fired at him once I got the gun from my glove compartment," she said.

Booker-Hicks shot the man in the face causing him to drive the car off the road and crash. The suspect was arrested and identified as 36-year-old Ricky Wright. He will likely face charges for kidnapping and the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle or carjacking, according to Fox 4.

That was my old neighborhood back before the school district decided they needed to bus black kids to white schools and white kids to black schools back in the early 70s which caused the White Flight. Today, you do NOT want to go to a gas station after dark there. Well, not in broad daylight if you’re a cracker.

Even though this happened in TX, she’s in lib Dallas. She should keep quiet until her lawyer shows up.

I like that olde worlde kind of talking, "the gentleman" instead of calling IT what IT IS, a POS. Thanks DallasBiff.

She should have emptied the gun. Now the taxpayers will have to pay the medical bills for this POS and the legal costs of his trial.
