[From article]
Perhaps the fact that dramatic surveillance video showed the victim being driven away while clinging to the hood of her car and the hero bystander pursuing with his gun drawn had something to do with it. And Atlanta, after all, is in the South, where the Second Amendment is especially popular. Such incidents are far less likely to occur in places like New York and Chicago, with draconian gun control laws, so television stations in those cities won’t have as many opportunities to run stories about crimes being foiled by gun owners.

SMYRNA, GA (WXIA) -- An attempted carjacking was thwarted by a bystander Friday afternoon at a car wash at the corner of South Cobb Drive at Highlands Parkway.
Police said it happened at about 3:30 p.m. at the Fast Track Car Wash. Smyrna Police Officer C.D. Graeff says a man in his 50s approached a woman washing her car at the car wash, pulling a gun and attempted to take her car.
Graeff says that a witness, seeing what was happening, pulled out his own gun and shot the suspect in the shoulder.
A red minivan pulled up, Graeff said, and drove off with the suspect. The minivan was last seen headed onto Interstate 285, which is about three blocks away from the car wash.
Graeff said at this point, there is not an active search for the suspect, and that investigators hope the suspect shows up at a local hospital.
No other injuries were reported.
