Garland Police says the suspect had crashed into two other vehicles before this all started. As you saw above, the man then tried to steal a few cars before finally being shot dead by an armed Texas man who was protecting his family.
You can thank Tatiana Starks, owner of Garland Smoke and Vape, for providing the video of those previous carjacking attempts. This happened in the parking lot of the strip mall her shop sits in. The rest was caught on surveillance cameras.
It looks like there was about a minute of struggle, the wife and three or four kids escaped the vehicle, and then the carjacker was shot dead by dad from the passenger side. The suspect has not been identified.
Police are on tape saying this "seemed to be self defense," and with his wife and kids scrambling around the parking lot with a madman behind the wheel, I'd have to say I agree.

I'll leave you with the words of Tatiana Starks:
It's just a blessing that the kids and the family walked away with no injuries.
Couldn't have said it better myself, Tatiana.
