The footage, obtained by WXYZ, apparently shows that after the boyfriend greeted a customer, another man at the store attacked him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cThey started fighting, then \u2014 lady pulls out her gun and then protects her boyfriend,\u201d a witness who asked not to be identified told WXYZ\u2019s Faraz Jahed. \u201cIt\u2019s madness, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">The witness estimated the woman, a 30-year-old with a concealed carry permit, fired three or four shots after her 36-year-old boyfriend was attacked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s clear they were acquaintances somehow before they saw each other inside the store, and obviously they didn\u2019t like each other, because it escalated into a fight,\u201d Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin told WXYZ-TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Shahin also addressed the decision to not charge the woman, even though the assailant suffered a gunshot wound to the back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cLook, that\u2019s Prosecutor Worthy\u2019s purview. That\u2019s her job, and I have faith in the job that she does here for Wayne County residents,\u201d Shahin said. \u201cOur job is to gather the evidence and provide the case as thoroughly and as complete as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">While the woman will not be charged, the wounded assailant may need to hire an attorney in addition to dealing with his hospital bills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s a possibility that those charges may be filed against the people that instigated the fight,\u201d Shahin said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">In Columbia County, Georgia, sheriff\u2019s deputies said that 29-year-old Benjamin Dasher was shot by a DoorDash driver after he repeatedly demanded that the driver purchase a food item for him before trying to carjack him, <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsbtv.com\/news\/local\/buy-me-20-piece-doordasher-shoots-man-self-defense-after-parking-lot-attack-deputies-say\/4ZC7ETG3QZAJPO5KWVQ4CXAPD4\/\">according<\/a> to WSBTV.com, an Atlanta-area TV station.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">In August 2024, police in Tazewell County, Virginia, said a 30-year-old man accosted a woman and her child at a Falls Mills, Virginia, convenience store and told the child of his intentions to commit a heinous act before a Good Samaritan shot the assailant, the Bluefield Daily Telegraph <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20241003193605\/https:\/www.bdtonline.com\/news\/suspect-shot-following-attempted-carjacking-assault-in-tazewell-county\/article_f60cc15c-6191-11ef-a49f-ab842786649e.html\">reported<\/a>. The incident resurfaced on social media in August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Also in August, Philadelphia police said a would-be carjacker brandished a handgun and fired at the driver of a blue Volvo, wounding him before the driver drew his own handgun and returned fire. The carjacker fled the scene after the return fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">In September, a robber\u2019s skills in victim selection were found to be lacking when he tried to hold up an armed commuter at a gas station. Orland Park, Illinois, police responded to the scene around, eventually taking the would-be robber to a local hospital for treatment with at least one gunshot wound, ABC7Chicago, a local TV station, <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/post\/ccl-holder-shoots-suspect-robbery-attempt-shell-gas-station-harlem-avenue-orland-park\/19835157\/\">reported<\/a>.
