An elderly woman brandishing a gun at someone in a Tucson, Arizona, parking lot sparked an intense social media debate about vigilantism and gun safety. Reportedly, the man she confronted was a suspected shoplifter, and she appeared to believe she was doing her part to keep him from getting away.
According to The Courier Mail, the incident happened outside a Ross Dress for Less store on Tucson’s Eastside. A man allegedly walked away with an extensive haul of merchandise while the store’s alarm blared in the background. The bystander then pursued him while brandishing a firearm in an apparent attempt to stop him.
