On Saturday, Sept. 17, shots rang off inside Northpark Mall in Ridgeland, Mississippi, as 16-year-old Za’Lill D’Chelle Patterson attempted to steal from a popcorn store.

As reported by CBS 42, the shooting occurred around 5:20 p.m., when Patterson pulled out a gun after she was caught trying to shoplift from the store by the owner. According to Ridgeland Police Chief Brian Myers, the threatened store owner shot Patterson in the leg in self-defense.

Inside the mall, the gunshots caused major panic. In one documented moment, a father and his son were spending time together, enjoying the day while the child was trying on his first pair of Jordans. The father was recording their moment when suddenly the shots were fired. The duo ran inside a nearby store for safety. Thankfully they were not hurt.

As reported by WJTV, shoppers inside the mall, consisting of parents with their children and elderly people, immediately made a dash for it, in fear for their lives.

...(snip)...

The owner of the store was not charged with anything.

"16-Year-Old Girl Shot After Attempted Theft From Popcorn Store" is the headline most often used as this story makes the rounds.

"Store Owner Wounds Armed Robber" is the headline that should be used as it more accurately describes the events that took place.

16-year-old Za’Lill D’Chelle Patterson...when Patterson pulled out a gun after she was caught trying to shoplift from the store by the owner.

let's see how we can spin this for the local leftist newspaper....

She was a good little girl, loved to play with her doll collection

Top student at XYZ High School. Her teacher said she was aiming for Ivy League colleges.

Was planning to become a nurse or doctor, so she could help people

Everyone in the neighborhood loved her, she was always so friendly and helpful

And while not an aspiring rap artist, she loved to dance...

#11: "Top student at XYZ High School."

I'm afraid you misspelled X'YZ High School. Hope this helps!
