Texas mom shoots man trying to take car with her kids inside at gas station: 'I hope that woke him up'

A mother shot a man in the face after the suspect jumped into her car while her two kids were sitting in the vehicle, police said.
A Texas mother said she didn?t think twice about shooting a would-be carjacker when the man jumped into her vehicle at a Dallas gas station while her two sons were in the backseat.
Michelle Booker-Hicks was at the Shell station along Interstate 35 around 10 p.m. Wednesday when Ricky Wright, 36, attempted to steal her vehicle while she was paying her gas bill, police said. Booker-Hicks told FOX4 Dallas her two sons, ages 2 and 4, were sitting in the backseat at the time.
?I proceeded to jump in my backseat and told the gentleman to stop, to get out the car. He would not get out of the car. He turned around and looked at me. I reached over the armrest to get my glove compartment and that?s when I fired at him once I got the gun from my glove compartment.
Booker-Hicks shot Wright in the face while he was allegedly trying to drive away. He crashed the vehicle into the fence.
?I?m not a killer but I do believe in defending what?s mine,? the mother of two said. ?I hope that woke him up.?
Wright was arrested and taken to the hospital for treatment. He is expected to face charges including kidnapping and the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle or carjacking.
Booker-Hicks and her children were not injured in the incident.
I just love Happy Endings....
