Early Wednesday morning an attempted carjacking resulted in a struggle and a stolen weapon …

It’s 1 a.m. and a single female is sitting at a traffic light in one of Dallas’ crime hotspots, which happens to be right here in Lake Highlands, Forest Lane and Audelia.

A would-be carjacker approaches her car with a knife. But she just happens to be an off-duty police officer. Now I wish I could tell you she pulled her weapon and held the creep at gunpoint until the working cops arrived, but things apparently didn’t go so smoothly.

From what I can gather from a brief in the Morning News, she pulled her weapon, fired at the suspect who somehow managed to make off with the 357 semi automatic handgun, according to a vague police report, and $16.

The officer, Sgt. Stormy Magiera, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene and we don’t know if the assailant sustained any injuries.
