Suspect is licensed CPL holder; Victim in critical condition
Detroit police said a man is in critical condition after being shot early Monday morning by a woman outside her home.
Leon Jones told Local 4 his wife did what she needed to do to protect herself when a strange man approached her at 4 a.m. in their driveway in the 11700 block of Minden Street.
“All I heard was a gunshot, and she was screaming out here. The first priority was check the kids,” James said.

Still ticks me off that the woman is classified as a suspect and the criminal as a victim, not much I can do about that. But somebody in her household is gonna be deserving of some serious and well deserved loving.
Police said the woman has a valid gun license. Jones said he was the one who pushed his wife to get one.
“I made her get it. She didn’t want to get it. I kept telling her, ‘I’m not here with you all the time,'” he said.
Mr. Jones, just don’t say “I told you so.” They don’t take it kindly 😀
Don’t get caught grinning about it either. But if you do happen to get caught grinning, just tell her you were thinking about your honeymoon.
Some of the comments are rather disgusting. A lot of them question why she was out a 0400. When I worked construction, I left the house at 0330 every morning because it was almost 70 miles to the job site. There’s a lot of reasons to be out at what some would consider “strange” hours.
I don’t know how Michigan’s castle doctrine works, but here in Iowa, you have to be inside your house. We are a duty to retreat state. We’ve got stand your ground in front of the legislature but I’t probably not going anywhere again this year.
Michigan has castle doctrine and stand your ground law…so not really an issue. Basically, if it threatens your life you are automatically authorized to use lethal force in defense.
