This wild story is really making the rounds up here. The title does it no justice, it's what happened that is nothing short of a devine intervention resulting in lives saved.

Cliff notes:
*A suspect who injured multiple people while trying to steal their vehicles was fatally shot by an armed civilian in a Walmart parking lot in Tumwater (WA).
*...officers found a 16-year-old girl who was injured during a carjacking.
*......the suspect from the earlier carjacking entered the Walmart store around 5:30 p.m. and fired shots at a display case inside.
*.....suspect proceeded to another driver who resisted a carjacking attempt in WallyWorld parking lot (ie, suspect has demonstrated he'll shoot people, a critical event/legal justification to take out suspect as allowed by WA state law. So for it's looking real, real good for the armed citizen not being charged, IMO)
*.....The suspect then tried to carjack another vehicle ......... were approached by two armed civilians. Other account report three. Nice!
***Nothing is known RE the guy who took out the threat and most likely saved lives.
***Cops haven't said a single word RE the armed citizen doing what the law allows. That was one ballsy citizen and although he, the road ahead probably will be rough. Cops hate people doing things like this.
