How can you say that? Why, this is terrible!
She ought to have killed him. :)

We're not talking Arlington, Texas here, are we? Unless he ran a long, long, way. I love the state-guessing game.

The woman fired her gun once, striking Driscoll in the neck, police said. He fled the scene, ran to a relative's home and called police to report being shot and ask for medical help. What an idiot that man was! How did he plan to explain to the officers exactly HOW he got shot?
Good for that woman being able to defend herself!

Odds are she will be arrested too for not having a permit...

Having lived in the peoples republic of taxa2shits I am amazed that this heroic woman isn't already in jail. The police in Boston are every bit as corrupt as their counterparts in Mexico!

Pity, that. She clearly didn't squeeze off the round but tightened her grip as the round went off. Otherwise, she'd have a nice center of mass shot. Better luck next time, Ma'am.

But, I wonder why she did not continue shooting until he was dead.
