#Armed woman thwarts attempted carjacking in Missouri

A woman in Missouri fended off four young carjacking suspects – including an 11-year-old boy – by pulling out a gun of her own, police said.

The would-be victim told cops in Wentzville she spotted a group of four youngsters while sitting in her car in a parking lot along the Wentzville Parkway early Saturday when one of them approached her and asked for directions, police said.

“That male subject then produced a firearm and demanded her vehicle,” police said Saturday in a statement. “The female victim produced her own firearm and refused to exit her vehicle, protecting herself and her property.”

The woman’s brave response prompted the armed suspect and three others with him to run away, but she called cops to “calmly” provide details of the foiled carjacking attempt to a dispatcher, police said.

Officers then apprehended four suspects – a 17-year-old, two 15-year-olds and an 11-year-old — without incident minutes later.

One of the 15-year-old suspects had a firearm at the time and was charged with first-degree attempted robbery and armed criminal action, police said.

The three other suspects are facing charges of conspiracy to commit robbery, while the 17-year-old — who was charged as an adult — is also accused of being a minor in possession of alcohol, police said.
