Accident – Death – Obituary News : Armed Female Bystander in North Carolina Comes to the Defense of Shooting Victim

In a remarkable act of bravery, an armed female bystander in North Carolina rushed to the defense of a man who had just been shot in the face by an attacker, according to the Shelby Police Department. The incident occurred at approximately 6 p.m. last Monday, when Unterio M. Jolly, 33, engaged in a heated argument with another man along Smith Street in Shelby, as reported by the Shelby Star.

Captain Seth Treadway of the Shelby Police Department revealed that after the verbal altercation, the two men went their separate ways. However, approximately 30 minutes later, Jolly allegedly tracked down the other man and confronted him with a gun. In a shocking turn of events, Jolly proceeded to shoot the man in the face, leaving him severely injured.

Fortunately, an unnamed female bystander courageously stepped forward to protect the injured man. Captain Treadway disclosed that moments after Jolly fired the shot, the concerned citizen retaliated by shooting Jolly five times. The quick and decisive action of the armed woman not only saved the victim from further harm but also neutralized the threat posed by Jolly.

Remarkably, the female bystander was legally armed and possessed a concealed carry permit, enabling her to respond effectively in this critical situation. Her actions highlight the importance of responsible gun ownership and the potential for armed citizens to act as a line of defense in moments of crisis.

Following the incident, Jolly was transported to a medical facility where he remains in critical but stable condition. The man who was shot in the face is also receiving medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. The Shelby Star reported that Jolly, determined to be the aggressor in this case, is now facing multiple charges including felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury, firearm possession by a felon, and assault by pointing a gun.

The Shelby Police Department will consult with the District Attorney’s Office to determine if any additional charges need to be filed against Jolly. Meanwhile, Captain Treadway stated that he does not anticipate any charges being brought against the female bystander who defended the victim.

This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers that can arise in everyday situations and the importance of remaining vigilant. The actions of this armed female bystander exemplify the critical role that responsible gun owners can play in safeguarding the lives of others.
