The Gun Feed: Bear-Spraying Robber Says “Happy Holidays” Before Jewelry Store Owner Shoots Her.
GARDENDALE, AL – A jewelry store owner in Gardendale, Ala. (roughly 10 miles from Birmingham) shot a robber on Dec. 6, stopping the robbery attempt in its tracks.
In an interview with AL.com , store owner Jeff Dennis said that the robber – one Heather Denise Wright, 32 – blocked the door of Jeff Dennis Jewelers after she entered the store, alerting him to an incipient robbery and prompting him to draw his concealed pistol.
After blocking the door, Wright said, “Happy Holidays! I don’t want to hurt y’all, but I am,” and started hosing the inside of the store down with bear spray.
Owner Jeff Dennis feared for his safety and that of his employees. Once she started using the spray, he fired and struck Wright in the shoulder, causing her to drop her purse and scream for him to stop and flee the scene.
Dennis hit the store alarm, alerting authorities, and closed the store.
Wright was found later that day, after which she was arrested and taken into custody as well as to University of Alabama Hospital. Dennis said he found additional weapons in her purse, which was left at the scene.

I'm so entertained by the part where, after she's shot, she drops her purse and screams ,"stop!" 🤣 She's lucky she didn't get the full Rittenhouse.
I thought she wanted to rumble? If it'd be me, I'm not sure I wouldn't have reflexively pulled the trigger a second time just to be sure.
"Ow! You shot me in the shoulder. Stop!" 
"Pew-Pew."
