Police: Woman bicyclist guns down armed man in downtown Detroit
Detroit — A 24-year-old man is dead after a late-Tuesday night "road rage" confrontation in downtown Detroit became violent, police said.
The fatal shooting took place about 10:50 p.m. on the 400 block of East Jefferson, police said in preliminary information.
That's the same block as the Renaissance Center, between Randolph to the west and Beaubien to the east. The shooting happened on the eastbound side of the street, nearest the RenCen.
Janae Gordon, a spokeswoman for Detroit Police Department, said the man was driving a 2006 Land Rover when he had a "road rage" incident with the two bicyclists.
He then allegedly exited the Land Rover, with a weapon in hand, and approached the pair. The weapon was not a gun, Gordon said, but police declined to specify what it was, citing the ongoing investigation.
One of the bicyclists, a 28-year-old woman and a concealed pistol license holder, was armed, and allegedly fired once, striking the man. He died from his injuries.
Police took the gun into evidence but have not made an arrest.

For those not familiar with the area, this is the block and side of the street the story is talking about.

In some small way, I feel like I have contributed to this death, having helped thousands many detroit women learn to shoot and normalize gun carrying up there. And I'm fine with that. No man worth his salt jumps out of a fricking battle wagon with a weapon in hand to attack a woman on a bicycle. That area is ALWAYS congested, and everybody knows it. you deal with it. (spin around on the street view link to see what i'm talking about)
One shot stopped the attacker with no harm to anybody else. Cops shouldn't have taken her gun, they should have given her ammo and asked her to teach them how to shoot.
