A Smyrna city worker shot a man attempting to carjack a woman's vehicle on Friday, authorities said.
Surveillance video shows a Cobb County woman jumping onto the hood of the car during the attempted carjacking.
Police said a good Samaritan shot the driver, stopping the theft and saving the woman.
The car wash’s surveillance cameras recorded the incident. The video shows the men inside a red minivan scoping out the parking lot and then the woman jumping onto the hood of her car as they tried to drive away with the Honda.
“Something could have happened, because she wasn’t letting go until that car would have thrown her off,” witness Arthur Lee said.
Witnesses said the good Samaritan likely saved a life. The suspect, who was shot in the shoulder, is expected to survive.
“I don’t want to say he deserved to get shot, but he definitely deserved to get stopped,” Lee said.

Actually, the carjacker did deserve to get shot.
The video shows the “Samaritan” was trained, situationally aware, and responded appropriately to an active ADW ... good job.
No Honda is worth your life!

I’ve lived near Smyrna on Austell Road and I can say I’m not the least bit surprised. Marietta/Smyrna/Austell has been on a decline for some time now.
Just what I was thinking. If someone is stealing my car I am getting out of his way!
We need a mugshot of the perp. My money is on a “Holder’s Person.”
