(MI) Drive-by shooter saves teenage girl from pipe attack 10-22-03
Vigilante? NO! I call this person a HERO! That 16 year old girl could be ANYBODY’S Daughter – heLL she could even belong to a anti self defense parent. Of course, if she belonged to an anti self defense parent, they’d rather she “rolled over and enjoyed the beating” rather than have any evil gun toting law abiding citizen come to her rescue …………
Maybe we should just ban pipies, that way we wouldn’t need guns for self defense , right? :rolling eyes:

Cops seek shooter who saved girl, 16

A man was beating a 16-year-old girl with a pipe Wednesday morning on
Detroit’s west side.
Suddenly, the man was dead, shot several times by a passenger in a
passing car.
Police are looking for the driver of the car and the gunman, who might
not be a criminal suspect, but a much rarer species — a drive-by
vigilante.
“Under certain circumstances, a citizen taking violent action to protect
themselves or others is warranted,” said Detroit Police Cmdr. Craig
Schwartz of the major crimes division. “We need to know if these actions
are justified.’
The dead man was identified as Johnny
Donaldson Jr., 22, of Detroit. Police said he was swinging a metal pipe
at several women and girls at Northlawn and Plymouth at 7:45 a.m.
That’s when the motorist, with the passenger next to him, rolled by in a
silver Pontiac. The driver stopped, and the passenger opened fire from
inside the car. Then, police said, the car might have driven over the
man.
Police were investigating Donaldson on
Wednesday evening and had no motive for the pipe attack.
Several children and adults suffered minor injuries from the pipe,
police said.
Police said they do not have a description of the two men.
“The information is that a girl was being violently assaulted at the
time of the shooting,” Schwartz said. “We really need to talk to these
guys to get their side of it.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Detroit police at 313-596-2260.
