that is 2nd degree murder..plain and simple.
Nope. Michigan is kind of a free-for-all state. The law is written that anyone with a permit can attempt to stop a crime in progress. The only consequence this nitwit would have faced would be if one of her rounds hit a bystander and they sued her for it.

Nobody got shot, so it's not murder. But reckless use of a firearm or such charge should be laid. And she should lose her permit.

I agree. But the permit should be suspended until she attends training and is certified to be safe.

It all depends on what he shoplifted. A hot water tank would have warranted this kind of response where, as a lag bolt would have made it an overreaction.

Police believe she shot out one of the tires.
$1:
The incident comes just a few weeks after a bank customer in a neighboring Detroit suburb shot a robber as he was fleeing the scene.
The local mayor said the 63-year-old man, who also had a license to carry a weapon, acted within his rights because the robber threatened him on his way out the door.
The robber, 43, was treated in hospital after being shot once in each arm and once in a leg.
