Asst. principal hospitalized after attempted carjacking in Shreveport [shootout, perp wounded too]

SHREVEPORT, La. The assistant principal of Youree Drive Middle School in Shreveport is hospitalized with a gunshot wound after a shootout with a man who allegedly tried to carjack him. Shreveport Police say Charles Washington arrived at police headquarters Sunday with a gunshot wound to the shoulder, saying he'd just been shot by a man and returned fire.

Washington says a man approached him at an intersection, demanding his car keys and wallet. Washington says the man shot him and he shot back, wounding the alleged robber identified as Gabriel Robinson. The 20-year-old Robinson was booked into the city jail on a charge of attempted second-degree murder.

Washington remains hospitalized in fair condition. Caddo Parish Schools Superintendent Ollie Tyler, who was Washington's boss at the school for several years, visited with him yesterday. She says he seems in good spirits and he told her he was ready to get back to work.

Meanwhile, police say Washington, in shooting his alleged assailant, was apparently acting in self-defense. While it's unclear if Washington has a license for a firearm, police say he didn't need one since he had the gun in his car, which is considered an extension of the home.

Lousy title! First read of that title had me thinking the assistant principle had tried to carjack a car. Thanks for the clarification.

Great story that could have been made better if the perp was enjoying his eternal reward.

Does anyone know which states view a car as an extension of a home?

Yep, one of the worst titles I've ever seen. ....and I had limited space for the clarification.

Texas has excellent property rights laws, but I'm not sure if that extends to the vehicle. It should. If anyone's taking your stuff, you've got my permission to make sure it's last thing they attempt to take.

Looks like Mr Robinson has chosen to continue his education through the College of Hard Knocks. Well done,Charles Washington.

"The perp will think twice now."

You would think so.....but probably not. I am sure when he is out of jail in a few years thanks to the current state of the Judicial system, he will be right back to doing the same thing again. The few years he will spend in prison may only make him even more dangerous.

We have a CCL and carrying a gun in the car is fine as long as you are traveling....defined as crossing a county line in either direction.

Hometown Ping...

Can't wait to talk with my dad. He taught at one of the local high schools there in Shreveport (same one I graduated from), so I bet my dad knows the VP. I'll post any additional info I can get on this.

The carjacker was lucky he didn't mess with the French teacher. He would have poked out the perp's eye with his white flag.

LA (not Los Angeles) has a a carjacking law, that says if you are being carjacked, you can shoot first and ask questions later. Can't help you with your real question.

Louisiana law treats a privately owned motor vehicle as an extension of the home of the owner.
