A Manhattan parking garage attendant who was shot twice while confronting an alleged thief at his business was charged with murder after wrestling away the weapon and using it to fire at the suspect.
The nightside worker, Moussa Diarra, 57, was slapped with assault and criminal possession of a weapons charges in the Saturday incident, which occurred at around 5.30am.
The attendant saw a man peering into the car windows on the second floor of the West 31st Street garage, reported the New York Post.
Thinking that the man was stealing, the attendant brought the suspect outside and asked what was inside his bag.
Instead of idling or cooperating, however, the man then pulled out a weapon.
Diarra lunged for the gun and it went off, leaving him with a stomach wound and an ear graze before he was able to turn the firearms on the alleged thief and shoot him in the chest.
The culprit, Charles Rhodie, 59, was also charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, in addition to burglary, according to police.
The charges against Diarra have left many confused and livid, as they are reminiscent of the case against Manhattan bodega clerk Jose Alba, who was charged with murder following a fatal confrontation on July 1 with an angry customer who accosted him.
A family friend of Diarra's was irate: 'That's self-defense. The guy tried to rob his business. Why DA want to charge him with attempted murder?' said Mariame Diarra, of no relation to the attendant.
'He's there for security. That's literally his job, to defend his business ... He takes his job seriously ... Attempted murder charge has no place there'.

From what I read, Bragg-hole already dropped charges.
The Democrats aren’t paying him for little fish. Just Trump size ones.
The district attorney’s office, meanwhile, has decided not to pursue criminal charges. After looking into the case Sunday, a spokesperson said prosecutors would not move forward with any case against Diarra.

😁👍. Alvin ‘the chipmunk’ bragg=useless POS!
Spreading the wealth is the priority over private ownership and self defense is illegal.
Time to pull Bragg’s law license.
Good thing that guy’s last name isn’t Trump he’d be in solitary right now..Bragg is literally DESTROYING NYC and New Yorkers would still vote for him as long as he “Gets Trump”
Manhattan DA Alvin Braff
Related to Alvin Bragg?
It doesn’t make sense to me for Trump to turn himself in if this is going on. This is rogue regime stuff. They don’t care about the law or public pressure.
Where did Bragg get his law degree?
Cuba? Or perhaps by mail from Lawyers-R-Uz? I can’t believe the NY bar is that low. I mean, they dropped a lot of requirements and testing from the schools, but seriously...
Affirmative action pass through?
You know, there are penalties for Lawyering While Intoxicated.
“Pressure”?! I doubt the dope feels any pressure to drop charges whatsoever
Trump does not have a reputation of hiding or running away. Even with the most rabid lying media types...
““Pressure”?! I doubt the dope feels any pressure to drop charges whatsoever”
Pressure! Have you looked at his photos? He looks like 400 lbs of passed through fodder looking for a loo.
Poor Moussa Diarra. He probably had no idea that he’s a White Supreemist.
For his actions, at a minimum he should resign.
“It doesn’t make sense to me for Trump to turn himself in “
If he doesn’t turn himself in he’s above the law. If he does turn himself in we can count on the Secret Service to tell the judge that Trump is in their custody and therefore not a flight risk. If a judge did attempt to throw Trump in with the regular arrestee’s there would likely be a serious issue with the Marshals and the Secret Service. I’ll wager the Secret Service has already worked out the details and Trump will not be in danger.
Let’s suppose for a moment that they put Trump in with the regular clientele and he got hurt or killed. Even the Democrats realize this would be a bridge too far. They won’t let it happen. A dead Trump is much harder to counteract than a live one.
sears and roebuck catalog sales. it was on sale 50% off.
Democrats don't make sense most times.
But in this case, this Bragg jerk is making dollars. From Democrat donors and from Soros. Sense isn't a requirement.
why? soros is probably paying him big bucks.
