Wounded Mom/Cop doesn’t quit
PintoNag sends us a link to Today which tells the story of one tenacious mom who is also a cop. 40-year-old Ann Carrizales was shot in the face and chest at a vehicle stop recently when the driver shot her then fled the scene. Carrizales then gave chase in her own vehicle;
“It wasn’t an option for me to give up,” the 40-year-old former Marine and mother of two told NBC’s Janet Shamlian. “I had to stay in that fight because I am a mom and they shot me and they were absolutely not going to get away with that, because I will do everything I can to come home to my children every day.”
Then, bleeding and in pain, she got into her squad car and gave chase. The pursuit lasted more than 20 miles.
“I knew that it was what I needed to do, to catch these guys,” she said. “You can’t shoot me and drive away: It’s not allowed.”
“You need people like me out here to do this, and I’m so proud to do it and honored to do it,” she said.
I don’t know, I just like her whole attitude.

Comment of the day! 🙂
Well done, Ma’am!
Very well done, young lady!!
I hope your tenacity put the fear of the Lord in those idiots before they get put down, permanent like.
I’m glad you are able to go home to your munchkins.
It’s all about attitude. Knew one officer who was shot with a shotgun. When asked what kept him going he said that he had made a promise to himself to not die on the job.
Kudos to Officer Carrizales
Great story. Tenacious lady.
Wow … “You can’t shoot me and drive away: It’s not allowed.”
BRAVO ZULU Marine!

Don’t mess with the WM’s.
You will lose.
So the Terminator 2 theme was playing the whole car chase right?
I hope she got the chance to BEAT. THEIR. ASSES.
I think I’m in love.
Ex-Marine, tough as nails LEO…nicely done Officer, nicely done….I am with Chip, I hope she was able to offer a strong tune-up to these miscreants…
Good for her. We need more like her.
Holy Hannah. She’s a former boxer, to boot, and was named top cop last year. I am very glad she is on our side and gladder that she will be home with her children soon.
I want a T-shirt with that slogan on it. All proceeds to Officer Carrizales. Awesome example of badassery.
“You can’t shoot me and drive away: It’s not allowed.”
That has to be the line of the century.
OORAH!!
Out-freaking-standing!
One hell of a woman. Very well done, my dear!
Damn! Outstanding, way to stay in the fight young lady! I’ll wager a bet here, not being just a Marine but she probably has older brothers to contend with when she was a kid, too. Just saying.
Wow. You need to watch both vids on the Today link. The dashcam footage was crazy. Totally focused, constant status updates, she had them the whole way. Wasn’t till about the 6minute mark, she says “They’re still firing” as they turn into a subdiv, that’s when she was told to break off.
Thanks for the pics link Master Chief, saved me some google-fu! Sgt of Marines, MP, Top Cop 2012, total BAMF! methinks she might be in the running for the 2013 Top Cop as well. Big Time SemperFi!
Its been said in a comment section on FB that all three suspects are in custody, two are Honduran’s…
