A South Florida man whose car was stolen with his 6-year-old son in the back seat chased the car down, then repeatedly shot the car thief, according to published reports. The Palm Beach Post is among those reporting that Lamar Thurman, 29, stole the 2012 Honda about 2:30 a.m. Saturday. Thurman was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The Post reports that he likely will face criminal charges if he survives. He was just released from prison on Feb. 4 after serving three years for carjacking, robbery and aggravated battery of an elderly person, state records show.
We can only hope that Lamar doesn't make it. He's used up more than his share of chances as it is.
