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.”

Yes! I am sure he had plans to turn his life around. He was going to go back to school, get a job, and start a rap music entrepreneurship. Then try to spend more time with his (probably several) kids....
Heck no!
Proudly posting without reading the article since 1999!
Even if he was killed he would still be able to vote democrat so no worries there.
But just wait until you get to 16:32. Truly terrifying...
I have a feeling we’re talking about the same thing. ;)
Wilhelm Tell rides again!
Fireproof? Divorce porn for women.
HA!
This isn’t a “carjacking”, this is a kidnapping, a child abduction, and probably child endangerment case.
The child’s life was in danger, as the man had already crashed once, so using deadly force to stop him was both necessary and acceptable.
Funny way of saying he’s been out of prison for two and a half months.
I wonder how many jackings he was able to pull off in those couple of months. Here's hoping thugboy succumbs to his stupidity.
Yup. All he needed to get started was some transpo’tation, and this cracker spoiled it for him.
He’s critical, there’s still hope.
