I wonder how this will play out legally. Law says you can't shoot into a vehicle and the shooter was not in danger, just trying to prevent theft. https://www.wdio.com/news/girl-shot-...hicle/6174358/

Police said the vehicle’s owner fired shots at the car, striking the girl who was driving away. Kenosha police did not provide the age of the girl but described her as a juvenile. The girl was transported to Children’s Hospital in Wauwatosa. Kenosha police said the shooter is in custody. The scene remains under investigation.

I think the guy could not claim self-defense and will get felony and jail time. He could've just call 911 and report his car stolen...

They should sell a hunting license to shoot losers stealing your stuff. Nothing worse than this kind of thief. Screw them. Just die a slow, painful death.

"Rodney Robinson, 26, has been charged with first degree reckless injury, use of a dangerous weapon and endangering safety by reckless use of a firearm. The two charges could mean a total of 35 years in prison and/or $125,000 in fines." The 13 yo girl is also charged in juvenile court. Everybody loses. I bet the girl gets out first.

Every state is different, I believe his actions are legal in TX and LA. Possibly other states.

Why are they calling it an attempted theft? He shot her while she was driving away, therefore she had stolen it.

That dude is gonna do a couple years and probably a very lengthy parole. Doesn't help him that he left it running with the keys in it, shouldn't matter but it might.

Default 13-year-old carjacking suspect and person who shot her will both face charges, Kenosha police say

I don't feel any sympathy for the 13-year old, and in my world, the shooter would have gotten a slap on the wrist if any.

That said, in this world, I can see why they are charging him.

Wisconsin authorities said Sunday that a 13-year-old female carjacking suspect, as well as a driver who shot at the girl attempting to make a getaway, will both face criminal charges.

The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. Friday, after Kenosha Police say a person left a vehicle running and unattended at a gas station at 50th Street and Sheridan Road. A female juvenile allegedly stole the car and was driving away when the owner fired shots at the car, striking the girl, police said.
