An armed motorist reportedly stopped two alleged carjackers in the parking lot of a Kroger gas station in East Memphis on Monday. One of the carjackers was killed in the incident, another was wounded.

WATN-TV reports:

According to police three to four male suspects, who were reportedly armed, attempted to carjack the driver of a white Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The owner of the car shot two of the suspects, according to authorities. 

 

 

Leonard Draper lives nearby and told FOX13 news people are “fed up” with crime.

'This doesn’t have to happen' Draper said. 'It’s just terrible. It’s a loss of life because of poor decision making.'

He wasn’t surprised the would-be victim fought back.

'I guess they’re fed up. They’re fed up,' Draper said.

Fed up and using their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves. The driver of the Mercedes reportedly was able to retrieve a handgun and fired two shots in the incident.

Police continue to investigate. So far, no charges have been brought against the armed driver of the Mercedes.
