Sterling Heights, Michigan, February 27, 2024 (FOX 2 Detroit) A woman assaulted by a mother and daughter – and who is a concealed pistol license holder – pulled her pistol and shot both attackers… The incident happened when the mother and daughter inside a Jeep Compass followed the victim inside her Dodge Durango going to Carrabba’s Italian Grill on Schoenherr. The Durango driver stopped at a stop sign in the shopping plaza near Carrabbas when the mother and daughter got out of their SUV, went to the driver’s side, and began physically assaulting her… On March 12, the Warrant Unit denied charges against the driver of the Durango citing self-defense.

He then called 911 again at 10:14 p.m., reporting he had just shot a man who robbed and kidnapped him. He said he was at the Herman Street and 16th Avenue North intersection. Gardner was found unresponsive on the ground as a result of multiple gunshot wounds. He then died at the scene, according to police.
