A man was suspected of snatching an 84-year-old woman's purse and that's when a number of Walmart shoppers in Waco chased after him and a violent struggle begins. One woman can be seen holding a gun and when the suspect is able to get free to make a run for it, she fires a shot over his head. The man immediately drops to the ground then gets back up and starts running.

What an idiot. She could get charged for that.

Glad to see others chasing down the perp, though.

Unfortunately, she's probably going to get in trouble for that

Two people should be going to jail over this incident. Don't pull a gun unless your intent is to use it and use it to kill, it's not for threatening someone, and if she shot him she would get charged, sounds like there was no threat to life. In OK you cannot use deadly force to protect some random stranger on the street.

Video shows it's a bad shoot.

She should get in trouble.

So she is supposed to wait for the guy, who was already acting aggressive, to pull out a weapon? GTFO

That's why you have to go to a class before you get your concealed permit....so you don't fire shots in the air in the middle of a city. If you can't see the danger in that, then I can't help you.

No, but you can't (well shouldn't) fire a shot at a guy who's running away from you.

They need to lock up that woman that fired a shot in the direction of a business and other cars.

woman should be charged. Randomly shooting in the air in a busy area? Stupid move on her part/

In the beginning she is holding a gun pointed towards him. I see videos from time to time like this. So if the guy sits there still and then decides to get up, does she think she has the right to shoot him?

Obviously she thinks she can at least send a bullet over his head. A bullet that probably wont stop until it hits something it was not intended to hit
