Firearms Are the Great Equalizer

Smaller than the bad guy? A firearm means that is not an issue. From WXYZ in Detroit: Prosecutors won't charge Dearborn woman who shot man inside shoe store

Three days after the shooting, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said it will not charge the woman who fired the shots, saying there is not enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was not acting in self-defense or in defense of someone else.

That is because it sounds like she was acting in defense of someone else. (Is the DA disappointed he can't prosecute, or is that the Professional Journalist™ who is disappointed?)

Security video released by Dearborn Police shows the chaotic moments inside the store. The footage shows a woman in a pink jacket entering with her 36-year-old boyfriend, who is wearing a gray track suit.

After the boyfriend greets a man who appears to be a shopper, a man in blue attacks the boyfriend. That's when the woman can be seen taking a firearm out of her purse and pulling the trigger.

The guy who got shot is in critical condition.

In the face of video evidence, the DA apparently concluded he could not win. Not that a prosecution would not be justice. DAs, for the most part, care about winning, not Justice.
