Carjacking suspect dead, two injured at Walmart in Washington state

[Reptile]

A carjacking suspect was killed and at least two other people were injured Sunday after a pair of carjacking attempts and a vehicle chase in Washington state that eventually led to a Walmart parking lot, according to police.

The still-unidentified suspect was fatally shot by an intervening civilian, Seattle's Q13 Fox reported.

The driver of a car that the suspect attempted to carjack also was shot, and a 16-year-old girl at another location suffered unspecified injuries, the Seattle Times reported.

I was shocked to hear about this on the morning news while having my morning coffee.

couldn't believe NPR reported it, deadpan - with no moral outrage commentary or antigun spin.

K. I read the Seattle times comments .slightly regret it .Tempted to respond to the guy about how much guns endanger bystandards with a few police shooting statistics.

Not sure if I want my email on their list though. Not many people know 1/5 is a good high number for most shootings .20% accuracy is good like.

There's another news story on this: Police: Armed civilian took down shooter at Washington state Walmart

Reading through this, there were a minimum of three separate armed bystanders (including the one who shot the carjacker) with their guns out.

Does Washington state really have that high a level of CC citizens, or is it just that the Walmart demographic is skewing it?
