"A Good Samaritan shot a wanted man attempting to carjack a woman and her child on Friday.

According to Major Harold Heatley with the Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened at Lee’s Kar-Go when the suspect, identified as Cody Dailey, 30, “attempted to carjack a truck, assaulted the female driver of the vehicle and told her [four year old] child that was in the vehicle, ‘I’m going to rape your mommy.’”

Multiple citizens heard the victim screaming and came to her aid, and one of those citizens was armed with his 9mm handgun.

The armed Good Samaritan approached Dailey and gave commands, but Dailey charged and shoved the man to the ground.

Dailey continued approaching the armed citizen, and that was when the citizen shot the suspect, hitting him in the chest. . . ."
