Source: Mlive

AUBURN HILLS, MI -- No decision has been made on whether to charge a woman with a concealed carry permit who opened fire on Tuesady at two suspected shoplifters outside of a Home Depot, according to Auburn Hills Police Lt. Jill McDonnell.

Whether a woman with a license to carry a concealed firearm will face charges of her own after firing at two suspected shoplifters in Auburn Hills Tuesday remains unknown, says

Police say two suspected shoplifters were chased after leaving a Home Depot on Joslyn near I-75 in Auburn Hills about 2 p.m. Tuesday. They fled in a dark SUV and another customer pulled her gun and opened fire. It's unknown if she struck the SUV or its occupants.
