Last Friday, the woman known to her neighbors in Southeast Washington as "Grandma" was driving to a chemotherapy appointment when she was confronted by a 15-year-old male who demanded she "give me your keys" and said "I got a gun," according to Grandma's recounting of the incident to local ABC News affiliate WJLA.
Grandma's response? "Baby, you better shoot me because you're not taking my car."
"He pushed me to the door and I got up and I grabbed him and was hitting his ass, and hitting him, and fighting him, and I said 'You not going to take my car, youngin,'" Grandma explained.
She called for help, and her neighbors came running to help her and catch the carjacker.
"I said, 'Oh, you're going to jail today β you're definitely going to jail β yes you are,'" Grandma recounted.
Thankfully, Grandma escaped with little more than a scar from when the teenage carjacker took her keys. According to D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department, the carjacker "left the scene in an ambulance" after Grandma and her neighbors were done with him β certainly not what he bargained for when he decided to carjack her. "They said it's a wonder he wasn't dead," Grandma added.
Sounds like a few more minutes with Grandma and her neighbors' version of justice and the carjacker might not have made it out of there at all...
