This woman is very lucky to be alive. She tried to call a bluff and paid for it.
Bravado vs humility. The choice is ours when the time comes. Circumstances and state of mind will determine our response and contribute to the outcome.
Just something to consider.
Here's the story:
DALLAS - A woman who defied a purse-snatcher talked about getting shot in the head on her way to work Thursday morning.
Linda Self had just stepped off the bus and was walking with a co-worker toward her job at AT&T when they were approached by a man in the 400 block of S. Akard in the heart of downtown Dallas.
The man tried to grab Self's purse, but the 63-year-old woman wouldn't give it up.
"He pushed me down," she said from her home, with bandages wrapped around her head.
The two got in a struggle over the purse, and Self said the man kept threatening to shoot her. Self didn't see a gun, so she didn't believe him.
In both of those other cases, the suspect stole purses.
Self was only slightly wounded by a glancing bullet. She's expected to recover fully.
Police are still looking for the gunman.
The crime spree was one of two violent attacks overnight.

The suspect ran away without taking the purse. But police say he robbed another woman just four blocks away, and they say several hours earlier he attacked a woman in the 4100 block of Commerce St.
In both of those other cases, the suspect stole purses.
Self was only slightly wounded by a glancing bullet. She's expected to recover fully.
