Tampa woman stops armed carjacker with her own gun


TAMPA, FL -- A Tampa woman refused to be a carjacking victim when she was approached by an armed man who jumped into her car on Thursday.

The woman, who only wants to be identified as Adrianna, pulled out her own gun. "I just leaned forward and punched him in the forehead with my gun," she said. The man "screamed like a girl and almost dropped his gun" as he ran away, she added.

Tampa Police have arrested one suspect so far in what they see as a pattern of carjackings. A-Keem Carr was arrested on related charges, but two others are believed to be preying on motorists in the Westshore area.

So far, two carjackings and four attempted carjackings have occurred over the last two weeks. In one case, a man from Land O' Lakes was pumping gas when an armed suspect approached demanding the car keys.

The man refused because his 6-month-old son was still in his car seat and the suspect took off.

Another incident involved a woman who was closing her business when she was approached by an armed man who took her van. Her credit cards were used at a business in St. Petersburg and the van was found later along 39th Street in St. Petersburg. A. Keem Carr was charged in that crime.

Other carjacking attempts included a woman standing next to her car in the Regency Apartments when she was approached but she screamed and scared off the bandit.

Adrianna was pulling into the International Mall when the armed man jumped in her car. She talked about defending herself. "I didn't want to have to shoot...anyway over a car. But if it was going to be him or me..."

Tampa Police warn the suspects are becoming more aggressive and may be prone to violence.

The funniest thing of all ... once he gets to jail, you KNOW someone will find that article, from way back in 2009, where it said she punched him in the face with her gun and he screamed like a girl...

Exactly CV!

She's lucky he didn't shoot her. After the Burger King incident a while back I decided that if someone has a gun and is intending me harm, they gave up the chance to have me go easy on them.

I would rather be lucky then good!

Actually the BG is really the lucky one! He should be thanking God that the woman was as gracious as she was. He let her get her gun out and on him. She could have so easily pulled the trigger.

Big Boys' Rules, yup.

Girls too! That was a Lady that made the would be attacker scream like a girl and scared the wadding out of him!

with Andy.
Indeed.

I would've pulled the trigger and MAYBE stopped at two rounds just to make the cleanup easier...no sense having to shampoo ALL the upholstery.

Awful scary to think she was so close she could bump his forehead with her gun...not pulling the trigger at that point leaves you very susceptible to the BG taking your weapon away from you and shooting you with it.

She's very fortunate he was a sissy.

Did she get to keep the gun he dropped?

That is one heck of a woman.

What no one has mentioned is the actual reason the guy screamed like a girl and ran; When she put the gun to his head, she grimaced and said 'Go ahead, make my day!'

[tfrazier]

...she grimaced and said 'Go ahead, make my day!'

What's the PHPBB code for "crowd groans at KeithB's joke"?

[sheffd]

Come on guys, you know why she 'hit' him with her gun. She didn't have any ammo.
