“The lady with the gun came out of the car lot right next to our vehicle and she basically looked right into my face. And I just went, no, not today — I don’t want to be carjacked or anything like that — and the cops were right there with their tasers drawn.”

According to the Television station, Another witness Bryce Hartsfield said, “I was just doing my job pushing the carts and then about three squad cars pulled up and then, essentially put, they tried to taze her first because they apparently knew who she was,”

“She ran into the store trying to get away from them, and she was firing off shots in there and they were firing off shots at her in there.”
