Should have had it on her hip instead of the glove box. But hey good for her to jump in and make sure the creep didn't get away and defended her family.

As a side note, this is one reason why I always lock the car when I'm at the gas station. Good habit to get into.

While I applaud the outcome....she left her 2 and 4 year olds in the car alone with a loaded gun in the glovebox? Not cool.

Yeah this lady is an idiot. Car running, 2 kids in the car, gun in the glove box, south Dallas. Sounds like child endangerment to me. And what type of pistol was it? She shot him in the fucking head and he didn’t die. I’m guessing a 22. She got lucky as hell like the lady a few weeks ago and the visitor from Australia or New Zealand.

So let me see if I've got this right...

“I proceeded to jump in my backseat and told the gentleman to stop, to get out the car. He would not get out of the car. He turned around and looked at me. I reached over the armrest to get my glove compartment and that’s when I fired at him once I got the gun from my glove compartment,” Booker-Hicks recalled to the news station.

So the bad guy was in the driver's seat, mom was in the back seat, and mom reached up to the glove compartment to get the gun? And he let her?

This "bad guy" doesn't sound very accomplished. This doesn't seem like the right line of work for him.

She is a very lucky idiot. Fixing a tragic mistake that you created doesn't make you a hero.
