Not exactly. The crime still occurred. The outcome was different than expected, but the assault and attempted purse snatching still occurred.

Seems that the lady got out of it with her purse and relatively unhurt. Once the shotgun came out the criminal decided hurting the lady and stealing from these folks wasn't a good idea.

"He displays a weapon and it scares the suspect," said a deputy on the scene. "The suspect runs up the police car and saying, 'Let me in. They are shooting at me'."

This is proof positive that armed citizens are a crime deterrent. BG was more afraid of an armed citizen than the police.
