A man engaged in a fight with woman began to attack her and her 16-year-old daughter outside of their car in a residential area of Charleston, S.C. During the assault, the mother managed to slip her daughter a handgun. The two women attempted to retreat in their vehicle, but the man continued the assault, threatening to kill them as he pounded the car windows with a piece of concrete. Fearing for her and her mother's lives, the teen shot at the assailant, hitting him, then fled the scene. When police arrived, they found the attacker suffering from a gunshot wound to the head, to which he would later succumb. Officers located the teenager who, having saved her and her mother’s lives by taking action against the aggressor, is not expected to face charges. (live5news.com, Charleston, S.C., 5/3/20)

Just before midnight a Huntsville, Ala., woman called 9-1-1 to report that her ex-fiancé had shown up to her house and attacked her. The 31-year-old man had been on probation for violating a protective order, and was known to local law enforcement for his history of domestic violence. The woman had filed the restraining order in 2018 after the man stalked, threatened, injured and stolen from her. Before police arrived, the woman, acting in self-defense, fatally shot her attacker. According to news accounts, she will not face charges. (www.al.com, Huntsville, Ala., 5/4/20)
