A perfect case of picking the wrong person to mess with as a car thief gets caught breaking into an armed former Marine's truck. Guns were drawn, bullets flew and at the end of the day only the former Marine was left standing.
The Marine's aunt was with him and describes what happened.
"He shoved me out of the way when the guy was going to shoot at us," Kristen Hague told KOMO-TV. She also said it looked like the thief had a gun and Keenan "pushed me out of the way and yelled 'gun!' and I don't think if he would have done that, I would be alive... I think he was defending me — I totally see it." Though the incident ended badly for the suspect, Hague said the shooting was completely justified.
"My life was in danger; my nephew's life was in danger, and he did the right thing even though it ended really bad and really sad," she added. The woman even reportedly attempted CPR on the suspect who had just tried to shoot her until medics arrived.
