TRUE STORY FROM "THE HOUSTON
HERALD" NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON , TEXAS

MARCH 5th, 2009

Last Thursday night around midnight, a woman from Houston , Texas , was
arrested, jailed, and charged with manslaughter for shooting a man 6
times in the back as he was running away with her purse.

The following Monday morning, the woman was called in front of the arraignment judge, sworn in, and asked to explain her actions.

The woman replied, "I was standing at the corner
bus stop for about 15 minutes, waiting for the

bus to take me home after work.  I am a waitress at a local café, I was there alone, so I had my right hand on my pistol, it was in my purse, that was hung over my left shoulder.

All of a sudden I was being spun around hard to my left.  As I caught my balance, I saw a man

running away from me with my purse.  I looked down at my right hand and I saw  that my fingers were wrapped tightly around my pistol.

The next thing I remember is saying out loud, No way punk!  Your not stealing my pay check and tips!

I raised my right hand, pointed my pistol at the man running away from me with my purse, and squeezed the trigger of my pistol 6 times!

When asked by the arraignment judge, "Why did you shoot the man 6 times?

The woman replied under oath, "Because, when I
pulled the trigger the 7th time, it only went click."

The woman was acquitted of all charges.  And she was back at work at the café, the next day!
