Hmmm. Did she open fire as they ran away, or immediately after handing over her purse? Story is unclear. Could make a big difference.
As the robbers ran away, the female victim got out her own gun and opened fire.
The suspects returned fire.Amazingly, no one was injured in the incident.The victim’s purse was stolen, but it was found and later returned to her.
The woman said she she shot at the robbers because she believed she was going to be harmed after handing over her purse.
