Maybe she feared something was about to happen. She was trusting her instincts. I personally would not ran him over. Maybe followed him as close as I could. Got a good description of him and called the police. Everyone acts different when they are afraid. Most people would of just hit the metal to the peddle and kept going. Not the right thing to do, but at least she stopped him.

Thats the problem in this world... PEOPLE NOT MINDING THIER OWN BUSINESS and they make mistakes like this!! (The guy had a FAKE gun)
Still she stopped a robbery which is why I guess they didnt charge her with anything..

She stopped a crime about to happen. Good for her. I guess you are on the side of criminals now. Figures.
PS. Why must you always bump your own thread when no one responds?
Lots of assumptions on your part.
Let's try it this way...
Guy's walking along, sees what looks like a sawed-off shotgun.
Panics, realizing children are in the area, picks up dangerous sawed-off shotgun so a child doesn't get ahold of it, gets run over, is now a robbery suspect and the driver is a hero.
Looks like you'd better be careful around Pittsburgh. If you are carrying a gun, a citizen can decide you're probably going to rob or shoot someone, and can run over you with their car, just in case.
A woman did exactly that to a man who was walking along carrying what looked like a shotgun. Police have stated that they will not charge her for running over him.
I guess the 2nd amendment says you can keep and bear arms. It doesn't say people are forbidden to run over you if you do it. Of course, the Framers didn't know about cars in 1791.......
Why do I get the feeling there's more to this story?
BTW, the "gun" turns out to be an Airsoft fake gun, that only shoots little plastic pellets.
Police: Aliquippa Woman Thwarts Robbery By Running Over Suspect
Reporting Christine D’Antonio

ALIQUIPPA (KDKA) – Police say a Beaver County woman may have thwarted a robbery, by running over a suspect with her car.
It happened in the 2100 block of McMinn Street in Aliquippa. Aliquippa police say a witness saw Cameron White walking down a street carrying what appeared to be a sawed off shotgun. She called police, but noticed that White was heading in the direction of a group of children.
Police say she feared White was going to shoot the children, so she ran over him with her car.
White was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police believe he was actually going to rob the Circle K mini-mart down the road and that she may have prevented the robbery.
They say White was carrying an airsoft pellet gun which had been sawed off to look like a shotgun, and the orange tip had been taken off.
The Beaver County District Attorney says they are not going to charge her with running White over.
She should ALSO be charged with a "hate" crime but, we KNOW THAT will never happen.
