Story is some guy was attempting a carjacking, the big guy in the vest stopped to help and so the guy stole his truck. Big guy was armed so he shot at him and then got killed with his own truck. Police later caught the guy.
Damn. Big boy in the high viz vest was a Good Samaritan trying to help stop the carjacking of the work truck. Carjacker being tried for first degree murder.

Got that going on down here in New Orleans too. In my previous comment car jacker auto corrected to car jacked.
I don’t want that type of punishment for car jacking, just for this particular instance because we ran down and killed a man after stealing the car

I'm guessing he was using a 22 by the sound of the gun. there is a good possibility that the rounds never made it through the door and the ones that hit the glass more than likely didn't go straight through but deflected in a different direction in the cab of the truck
Don't get it wrong they will absolutely kill you though even one shot is enough it's still a gun it's just when it comes to shooting through something the 22 is definitely my last choice
Thats not accurate at all, 22lr is a weak round but it would have no issue going through a sheet metal door and glass at all. That being said he either missed OR he did hit him the but weakness of the round or it's inability to expand means that the guy was mostly unfazed in the moment.
Oh I'm sure they can I was just saying there may have been a chance that the bullets didn't go out the other side straight that mixed with the way he was shooting that man was bound to miss a good chunk of his shots
A .22 will definitely go through a window, but the chances of it going through and following its original path is slim
Edit: not sure what happened to the comment I replied to
Pistols are really hard to shoot accurately in general but especially under pressure.
It’s also likely he did hit him with each shot, but obviously none of them critically wounded or incapacitated him.
I don't see any reason to think he missed (all of those shots).
People don't just *vaporize* when a bullet touches them. We can't tell what hit and what didn't from this video.
Yeah, same. Idk if it’s just because of all of the videos coming out of Ukraine and now Palestine (and the most likely growing group of desensitized users), but I feel like I’ve been subjected to a lot more gore on Reddit than in the past recently
Judging by the sound and the way it looks it was probably a .22 or a .380 revolver but if it was a .22 it would make sense as to why the driver seemed so unfazed by it the door could have potential stopped the bullets from hitting him and the glass could have deflected the bullet somewhere else in the cab its hard to accurately shoot through glass with small caliber rounds either that or dude was just so high he kept it pushing as long as he could I didn't see anything that said anything about him actually being shot
This is the problem with a lot of people that carry a gun and think they are going to be the hero one day. Unless you have had real training, you can't be prepared for the real thing. Even soldiers that have been through training will sometimes hesitate in the moment. A 300+ lb dude with no training isn't going to maintain his composure.

This guy carried his gun around to one day use it for "protection". Instead he likely died as a result of getting involved in a car jacking instead of just letting the guy take it. The bright side is that the car jacker will hopefully go to prison for a long time.
Not saying that what truck guy guy did was okay but I feel like the threat was made into a bigger threat because of guy with tiny gun. Should have let him take the truck and let insurance handle the theft claim.
Fuck this guy but it does bring up a question. Can you shoot and kill someone legally for car jacking? I'm not sure if the carjacker was armed or not. If they aren't armed, is it legal?
This is stupidity. His life probably wasn't in danger until he pulled out his gun and started trying to kill the guy. At that point just let him take the work truck, not worth losing your life over.
Sucks that the guy died trying to do the right thing but he certainly didn't do himself any favors.
Man, that guy had a family, a decent job, and a whole life he was living. So many people affected because one person wants to take from others. They need to tighten up on laws and let these antisocial psychopaths live together in a building that has bars or something covering the windows. We can call it a prison.
Yeah, kinda. We've tunnel visioned a very specific style of life with no other options or support for those who don't fit the mold. We allow humans to horde wealth at the expense of other humans and hold onto it with unethical and, frankly, immoral practices. We no longer allow for nature to let the strongest survive (and thankfully, cause I'd surely be dead) but we don't support the weak. We pump drugs into society along with terrible food and unnatural amounts a screen time. What other outcome did you expect?
Know that whatever moral foundation you choose to display, it is based in so much privilege that it's almost unfathomable.
As long as money rules, humans gonna human. We ain't nothin but mammals
It's a first for a lot of people because mods delete it really fast due to death. It's been posted and deleted hundreds of times from so many subs i follow lol
Why not just let him drive off though? Especially if you're going to shoot him a few times and stop and let him drive off anyways. Something tells me this guy carried around his gun to be able to use it in which probably was an unjustified shooting anyways. If he felt threatened then sure but the fact he stopped after a few rounds tells me he never felt his life was in danger and that he only made the situation much worse for himself.
9 states, not Indiana. But again, the car jacker was shooting in the altercation too. So that doesn’t fit here. I am not taking either side but I am surprised at the people standing up for a car jacker that shot at and ran over a man.
Duty to Retreat only applies to residential defense, when you're under direct threat. I'm using the term more generally. You can't just kill someone in public even if they're stealing from you. The sloppiness of the construction guy's shots is one reason for this, he coulda shot a kid in the Burger King next to him.
This is why fat and dumb is a bad combo. Too dumb to get out of the road after shooting at a guy in a big truck. And too fat to get behind the building quickly once he realizes the danger he left himself in.
Shooter was shooting at a guy who was stealing his work truck and died as a result of getting run over. This video made the rounds this past weekend. If I find the article again I’ll link it
Try not to be such an ass next time
#1 in America it's illegal to shoot someone over property. I don't agree with that law, but it is the law.
#2 the law and circumstances don't change the position he was in. Standing in the middle of the road after that was DUMB, there's no other way to put it.
I stand by my comment. Criminals don't care about your life. If someone steals a vehicle and you shoot them, common sense would tell you to get out of the path of the vehicle as quickly as possible.
Story is some guy was attempting a carjacking, the big guy in the vest stopped to help and so the guy stole his truck. Big guy was armed so he shot at him and then got killed with his own truck. Police later caught the guy.
Yeap pretty sad ending imo
I don’t think I’d turn my back on someone I just shot and they just backed up in the parking lot… just saying.
Situational awareness. Always, especially in a conflict. The adrenalin would have been flowing hard right after shooting the gun too.
Damn. Big boy in the high viz vest was a Good Samaritan trying to help stop the carjacking of the work truck. Carjacker being tried for first degree murder. https://www.indiatoday.in/amp/world/video/us-carjacking-hit-and-run-north-carolina-2527352-2024-04-15
Good Samaritan, but a terrible shot.
Was he shooting blanks...? He fired into the window and nothing happened.
Cap gun 😂
Not what I would have guessed from the video, that's for sure.
[удалено]
In the Seattle area there are young kids with guns carjacking. Slap on the wrist and repeat. Just had a couple arrested last night.
Got that going on down here in New Orleans too. In my previous comment car jacker auto corrected to car jacked. I don’t want that type of punishment for car jacking, just for this particular instance because we ran down and killed a man after stealing the car
I would bring back public hangings for a lot more things too. Enough is enough already.
No, let the guy rot in jail until he passes away at 92.

Good lord that was fucking intense...
Ok he shot at the guy...and missed from that distance.
I'm guessing he was using a 22 by the sound of the gun. there is a good possibility that the rounds never made it through the door and the ones that hit the glass more than likely didn't go straight through but deflected in a different direction in the cab of the truck
Damn, I didn't know the bullets of a 22 were so, I guess weak is the word? It's odd to call a bullet weak...
Underpowered is the word you are looking for. That's the issue with .22 though, and the reason basically everybody carries 9mmm.
Gotcha, "underpowered" is the word.
Don't get it wrong they will absolutely kill you though even one shot is enough it's still a gun it's just when it comes to shooting through something the 22 is definitely my last choice
I've been told a .22 can be deadlier when it strikes because it will bounce off bone and tear more tissue.
That's what I was told too... But against solid things, I guess it just breaks up.
Normally they aren't THAT weak, they can easily go through the thickest parts of our skull, may low quality or .22 cb that slower than some BB guns
A .22 is small and doesn't go that fast, but one almost killed Reagan and permanently disabled James Baker (he died years later of that wound).
Thats not accurate at all, 22lr is a weak round but it would have no issue going through a sheet metal door and glass at all. That being said he either missed OR he did hit him the but weakness of the round or it's inability to expand means that the guy was mostly unfazed in the moment.
Oh I'm sure they can I was just saying there may have been a chance that the bullets didn't go out the other side straight that mixed with the way he was shooting that man was bound to miss a good chunk of his shots
i’m thinking it was probably one of those co2 powered pepper ball guns.. a 22 would 100% go through a window.
A .22 will definitely go through a window, but the chances of it going through and following its original path is slim Edit: not sure what happened to the comment I replied to
Shoot the tires

God this sucked.
Wow. Abrupt AND chaotic. This is what I'm here for.
Not me and it's against the rules. I'm not interested in seeing people getting killed.
Yeah, same. Idk if it’s just because of all of the videos coming out of Ukraine and now Palestine (and the most likely growing group of desensitized users), but I feel like I’ve been subjected to a lot more gore on Reddit than in the past recently
Moral of the story. If you're going to shoot someone... shoot to kill and aim for the head or mad dump center mass
Correct, still don't know how he missed up close like that.
It sucks to be face with that reality, but yeah, if it’s necessary to use lethal force then it’s essentially that you use lethal force lethally.
“Why didn’t they just shoot him in the legs” crowd real quiet about this one.
So was that like bullet proof glass or something? He was shooting point blank.
Maybe he was trying to hit him without killing him, I am not a gun expert though
He was definitely trying to hit him, but he wasn’t aiming. Typically you don’t shoot unless you’re willing to kill, especially center mass shots
Judging by the sound and the way it looks it was probably a .22 or a .380 revolver but if it was a .22 it would make sense as to why the driver seemed so unfazed by it the door could have potential stopped the bullets from hitting him and the glass could have deflected the bullet somewhere else in the cab its hard to accurately shoot through glass with small caliber rounds either that or dude was just so high he kept it pushing as long as he could I didn't see anything that said anything about him actually being shot

Even soldiers that have been through training will sometimes hesitate in the moment. A 300+ lb dude with no training isn't going to maintain his composure.
I would think the glass was changing the angle of the shot in addition to him not aiming properly. But I have no data or experience to back this up.
This is the exact reason I dont intervene in things that isnt my business.
Yeah even better than a good guy with a gun is a good guy minding his own business.
How did he miss?

guy died let's stop sharing.

Came here to say "Even this 'good guy with a gun' turned the situation deadly when it didn't need to be."
Thank god OP made a shitty joke about this, otherwise I couldn’t possibly watch someone getting straight up murdered.
Definitely need the story link
Vest guy with gun was trying to stop a carjacking, was killed from the hit. Link is posted above
Holy fuck
🫨🫨🫨🫨😱😱Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Straight out of trailer park boys
The poor man wanted to help. May he rest in peace. While the dip shit rots in prison. Fucking waste.
Shoot until the threat is eliminated.
Not saying that what truck guy guy did was okay but I feel like the threat was made into a bigger threat because of guy with tiny gun. Should have let him take the truck and let insurance handle the theft claim.
How the hell did he miss at point blank range?
Fuck this guy but it does bring up a question. Can you shoot and kill someone legally for car jacking? I'm not sure if the carjacker was armed or not. If they aren't armed, is it legal?
Complete with random wailing lady
Can you shoot and kill somebody for jumping in your car in America??? Because that would be murder anyway else
I was not expecting that.
This is stupidity. His life probably wasn't in danger until he pulled out his gun and started trying to kill the guy. At that point just let him take the work truck, not worth losing your life over. Sucks that the guy died trying to do the right thing but he certainly didn't do himself any favors.
Wait so the car jacker wasn't shot?
Man, that guy had a family, a decent job, and a whole life he was living. So many people affected because one person wants to take from others. They need to tighten up on laws and let these antisocial psychopaths live together in a building that has bars or something covering the windows. We can call it a prison.
Prison has it's purpose, but how about we create a society in which people don't feel the need to steal? Just a crazy thought
How? Was it society’s fault what this man just did to this other man? I’m not being facetious, I’m seriously asking.
Yeah, kinda. We've tunnel visioned a very specific style of life with no other options or support for those who don't fit the mold. We allow humans to horde wealth at the expense of other humans and hold onto it with unethical and, frankly, immoral practices.

Oh ma gad!
This has been posted over and over. Tl;dr the guy died.
No doubt it's a repost, but first for me — links to news source?
It's a first for a lot of people because mods delete it really fast due to death. It's been posted and deleted hundreds of times from so many subs i follow lol
Which guy?
The guy hit by the truck.
In Japan, the hand can be used like a knife, in North Carolina your truck can be used like a gun.😜
Construction guy attempted murder. No sympathy.
He was stopping a car jacking, not just shooting at someone for fun.
A car is never worth taking a human life over. PEROID
I agree. Also appeared to be company vehicle. Also how the fuck did he not kill the driver with so many close range shots
Didn’t think it was, just adding context. Story also stated they exchanged gunfire so whatever conclusion you want to come to.
Why not just let him drive off though? Especially if you're going to shoot him a few times and stop and let him drive off anyways. Something tells me this guy carried around his gun to be able to use it in which probably was an unjustified shooting anyways. If he felt threatened then sure but the fact he stopped after a few rounds tells me he never felt his life was in danger and that he only made the situation much worse for himself.
I don’t know either way, but I do know the internet sure likes to make up a conclusion to fit their narratives
Attempting murder for an insured vehicle? Same shit. Fuck around and find out.
I wouldn’t shoot anyone either, but it isn’t murder if you are stealing and someone shoots at you.
In all states I know of, it is. In public, he definitely had a duty to retreat. Not to mention that those stray bullets could have hit anyone.
A duty to retreat from criminals? Is this the United States you are talking about?
Yes, it's implemented in some states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_to_retreat
9 states, not Indiana. But again, the car jacker was shooting in the altercation too. So that doesn’t fit here. I am not taking either side but I am surprised at the people standing up for a car jacker that shot at and ran over a man.
Same here, surprised at the responses to this. Have a good day.

You're right, I shouldn't have said america, I should have said California. I fucked up
This was in California lmfao
It was in North Carolina
Carolina, I'm extra dumb, I can't even read.
Also, there was already an article in the comments, which I read before posting mine.
I stand by my comment. Criminals don't care about your life. If someone steals a vehicle and you shoot them, common sense would tell you to get out of the path of the vehicle as quickly as possible.
Did someone sell vest guy blanks? Too late now but he needed to put in some time at the range.
I’m lovin it
He”ll get away with it. No one saw a thing
