A woman with a concealed-carry permit shot a gunman five times last week in North Carolina after police say the gunman shot a male victim in the face following an argument.
Shelby Police Capt. Seth Treadway told the Shelby Star that 33-year-old Unterio M. Jolly made his way to the 500 block of Smith Street around 6 p.m. Nov. 6 where he got into an argument with another man.
“Then they kind of go their separate ways, and about a half an hour after [Jolly] shows up with a gun and shoots [the other male] in the face and the shoulder,” Treadway told the paper. “Right after he does that ... a concerned citizen shoots back trying to protect [the other male] and hits Jolly about five times. She shoots him five times.”
Treadway told the Star that Jolly was in critical but stable condition in Charlotte, and the male victim is expected to live.
Treadway added to the paper that Jolly was determined to be the aggressor and that warrants were obtained for charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury, firearm by a felon, and assault by pointing a gun.
“We will consult with the district attorney’s office later in the day to see if those charges need to stay the same,” Treadway noted to the Star. “I do not expect any charges on the person that returned fire.”
Treadway added to the paper that the woman has a legally issued concealed handgun permit.
