Aaron Taylor told police he regretted his decision. (Photo: Aaron Taylor Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pastor in Eugene, Or., was cited by local police for his role in a July 7 incident in which he shot at the tires of a car driven by a robbery suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crossfire Ministries lead pastor Aaron Taylor confronted 44-year-old Ramiro Mata in a Lowe\u2019s parking lot after learning that Mata had stolen merchandise from the store, according to local media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police documents indicate that Mata stole $1,385 in merchandise, including a power washer and an air conditioning unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After confirming that Mata had stolen the merchandise, Taylor attempted to stop Mata by grabbing his arm. But Mata got away and got into a van. Taylor shot one round at the van\u2019s tires, but Mata was able to drive out of the parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor told police that he regretted firing his handgun at the getaway car, but that he was tired of people getting away with stealing. Police didn\u2019t find his justification convincing, apparently\u2014Taylor was cited for reckless endangerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mata, who has had multiple criminal charges dating back to 2013, was apprehended about 18 miles away from where the incident took place. He was charged with first-degree theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor is a longtime pastor of Crossfire World Outreach Ministries and owner of Factory Fireworks Outlet, a statewide fireworks retailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He posted a cryptic message on Facebook the day after the media report of the incident. While it\u2019s unclear precisely what he\u2019s referencing, he appears to be casting doubt on the media account as it appears in KEZI 9 News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot sure if it\u2019s fake news or they just don\u2019t know or tell the whole story,\u201d he says. \u201cSometime your good gets spoken evil of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GunsAmerica reached out to Taylor but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting the tires of a getaway vehicle is a common Hollywood stunt and theoretically could be successful in some circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as a matter of law and common sense, it\u2019s a terrible idea. Legally speaking, many jurisdictions only allow private citizens to present firearms if they are in fear of death or seriously bodily injury. Based on the media reports thus far, it does not appear that Mata threatened Taylor with any physical violence, whether before or after he began driving his vehicle. Shooting at a fleeing robbery suspect is almost always grounds for some kind of criminal charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firing at a rapidly moving rubber wheel also presents serious safety concerns, both for the concealed carry holder and bystanders. Bullet trajectory can be unpredictable, and a ricocheting projectile (or piece of a projectile) could easily injure anyone standing around the vehicle\u2014even assuming a shot could be placed on the tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor isn’t the first concealed carry holder to attempt the stunt. In 2015, a woman was charged with a misdemeanor<\/a> after firing at the tires of a fleeing robbery suspect at a Michigan Home Depot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that incident, police advised that taking pictures of the suspect’s license plate would be more helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
