The owner of the Sarah’s Pet Spa, Sarah Shoe, will not be charged after shooting and killing a man threatening to attack her and her grandchildren. (Photo: WCNC<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

A Charlotte, NC, woman will not be charged after shooting and killing a man who was threatening to attack her and her grandchildren.<\/p>\n

The Cabarrus County District Attorney’s Office determined that Sarah Shoe acted in self-defense during an incident that occurred at her business, Sarah\u2019s Pet Spa, last month.<\/p>\n

The DA reviewed multiple pieces of evidence to make the decision, including witness testimony, physical evidence, and a 911 call in which the dispatcher asked Shoe whether anyone needed an ambulance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI shot him in the face. He\u2019s probably dead,\u201d Shoe responded matter-of-factly.<\/p>\n

The altercation began between Shoe and a neighboring business owner over a water bill, according to NBC Charlotte<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The adjacent owner, DeShawn Tatum, visited Shoe\u2019s business and started a fight with Shoe\u2019s boyfriend, Christopher Gray.<\/p>\n

Gray told police he asked<\/a> Tatum to leave the store over a dozen times, but he refused until Shoe pulled out her gun.<\/p>\n

Tatum left, but returned about a minute and a half later. Shoe called the police as Tatum stood outside the pet spa yelling and threatening.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou said he\u2019s back?\u201d the dispatcher asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, he\u2019s out there screaming. If he comes in I\u2019m shooting him,\u201d Shoe said.<\/p>\n

Gray went to the front door to ask Tatum to leave, but he responded by yelling, \u201cI\u2019m the General from Virginia, you don\u2019t know who you just f***** with. I make one phone call and I\u2019ll have an army down here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatum appears to be a member of a group called the \u201cYahshua Movement\u201d in which he goes by the name \u201cThe General,\u201d according to NBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it the same guy that came in the first time?\u201d the dispatcher asked Shoe.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it\u2019s the same guy that came in and attacked my boyfriend,\u201d Shoe responded.<\/p>\n

Police say Tatum grabbed Gray while he was at the front door and began hitting him in the head. When he began moving towards Shoe and her grandchildren, she pointed her gun<\/a> at his head.<\/p>\n

Tatum reportedly continued walking towards Shoe saying \u201cshoot me.\u201d Shoe complied, fatally shooting him before her could reach her.<\/p>\n

There is no reliable data on the number of times each day a firearm is used for self-defense in the United States. Unlike this incident, many are not covered in the news, and the victim frequently never has to fire a shot. Estimates range anywhere from several hundred thousand to 2 million defensive gun uses (DGUs) a year.<\/p>\n

But regardless of the exact number, the Second Amendment thankfully gives individuals like Shoe the power to protect themselves, their businesses, and their loved ones if the need arises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
