An accused car thief was shot outside a Kroger when the car owners tracked their vehicle across state lines, Kentucky police say. Police in Fort Mitchell, a Kentucky suburb of Cincinnati, said the shooting happened at the gas station area of a Kroger grocery store Tuesday, Dec. 19. The couple’s car was stolen around 6 a.m. in Cheviot, Ohio, according to WKRC. A phone was left inside the car, allowing the couple to track where it was traveling.

Police said the vehicle owners confronted the alleged thief outside Kroger, and a woman shot the suspect in the neck. “The female owner of the vehicle who fired the shot maintains she did so in defense of her boyfriend’s life, as the alleged thief attempted to drive away with her boyfriend who entered the passenger side of the vehicle,” police said in a news release.
A call to the local police should have apprehended the thief and boyfriend. But, I was taught to respect my and your property. If you cannot defend your property, you cannot defend yourself.
