carjacker fatally shot by a passer-by

Post by TunnelRat »

the Atlanta Constitution-Journal wrote:Kimberly D. Boyd took her son to preschool Monday morning, then dropped by a bank before heading to her office in north Cobb County.

Minutes later, her routine was shattered, and sometime before 9:30 a.m. she was struggling for her life with a carjacker as her Toyota Sequoia raced south on U.S. 41. The kidnapping ended with the 30-year-old Acworth woman dead and the carjacker fatally shot by a passer-by.
Brian Clark, who was shot in a carjacking incident Monday.

Boyd died instantly when her SUV was broadsided by a cement truck, police said. Within seconds, the man driving Boyd's car was also dead — shot by Shawn Roberts, 31, who had seen Boyd fighting the man and followed the car, police said.

"She was fighting for her life," Roberts, who lives in Acworth, told WAGA-TV.

Roberts told police he was driving north on U.S. 41 about 9:30 a.m. when he saw a man beating a woman outside the SUV, just south of the Lake Allatoona bridge. He stopped and turned around on the four-lane road to help the woman, said Cobb Police Cpl. Dana Pierce.

It doesn't say whether the shooter had a CCW (thank you, mainstream media), but the police for sure wouldn't have let him go if he didn't.

Doesn't GA have legal open car carry regardless of CCP or not ? I haven't looked it up yet but it seems I remember that being the case.
