Easy to see why the dad had to do everything possible to prevent this monster from driving off with his kid. Good shooting, just too bad the trash wasn't taken out.

A father in West Palm Beach fired into a Honda with his 6-year-old son inside to stop a persistent felon from stealing his car, Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office said. The incident occured Saturday afternoon.
The 6-year-old was unharmed, said PBSO. But the would-be thief, 29-year-old Lamar Thurman, was in critical condition.
Thurman is two and a half months into a three-year post-prison probation after serving 5 months for carjacking without a firearm, aggravated battery on a senior citizen and robbery without a gun. Witnesses told PBSO he jumped into the father’s Honda, which was parked in front of a home in the 3200 block of Roberts Lane, while the father said goodbye to friends.
Friends and father hopped in a car to chase the Honda. Thurman crashed about four miles away, on Loquat Tree Drive in Lantana. The chasing posse got out of its car to rescue the kid.
Suddenly, Thurman worked the car free and took off to the east on Loquat Tree Drive.
The father, PBSO said, “armed with a handgun, shot at (Thurman) in an attempt to stop him from fleeing further with his child in the car. (Thurman) was struck several times and crashed 200 yards down the street.”

Why was the perp released after the first carjacking? I though FL was tough on crime.
Good guy!!
The most shocking and emotional scene I’ve ever seen in a movie comes at around the ten minute mark in the movie “Fireproof”. You don’t see it coming.
You never see appropriate uses of firearms on the MSM.
“Thurman is two and a half months into a three-year post-prison probation...”
Darn! He almost made it!

Yes, I hope we will hear more about this. Good father. Sounds like lots of stress handling that.
"...car stolen with son inside..."
What a joke!
Amazing and lucky shooting.
Clearly, the father was close enough (and well trained enough) to easily target the driver, and be confident he wouldn’t hit the Child (presumably in the back seat)
His car is likely totaled, but it was worth the damage just to save his son. This Dad was ready to act. The police cannot be everywhere.
If the perp dies, the father will be a “racist, white supremacist murderer” and there will be protests in the streets. X.x
Yeah the media makes it sound like it is normal to just spray bullets everywhere.
Another new Democrat voter!
you’ll never see this story reported in MSM.

Sorry, I don’t know how to post this so the image comes up instead of the link.
At least he will still be able to vote...thats the most important thing.
No! Trained, well executed shooting. He hit the criminal several times and nobody else.
Did you even read the story?
“Another Democrat voter.”
Bernie will insist he be allowed to register!
Carjackers gonna carjack.
