Prosecutors say they've charged a woman who shot at the tires of an SUV to stop Home Depot shoplifters.
A 46-year-old Michigan woman has been charged after authorities said she fired a shot at the tires of an SUV to stop fleeing shoplifters in a Home Depot parking lot.
Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper said Tuesday that Tatiana Duva-Rodriguez of Clarkston faces one count of reckless use, handling or discharge of a firearm.
The shooting occurred Oct. 6 in Auburn Hills, northwest of Detroit. The shoplifters escaped, but two men were arrested a few days later and charged with retail fraud.
Authorities have said the woman who fired the shot had a concealed weapons permit, but wasn't being threatened by the shoplifters.
Cooper said the slug could have struck someone else.
An arraignment date for Duva-Rodriguez has not been set. A number listed for her was disconnected.
