The woman was at the Hy-Vee food store on June 19 when she was “blindsided, beat up and put in a headlock,” according to the Des Moines Police Department.
The incident was a “totally unprovoked attack,” and police said the legally armed gun owner acted in self-defense.

“The preliminary investigation of this incident indicates that the suspect and one of the victims [the shooter] were involved in a spontaneous dispute within the store prior to the shooting,” Sgt. Paul Parizek said.
Kapri Francis, 30, was identified as the attacker, and she knew the woman she attacked, KCCI reported.
The relationship between the two is “best described as acquainted with a history of conflict between the two,” authorities said.
After she launched herself at the armed woman, the latter brandished her firearm and shot the attacker in the leg, police said.
A male customer was also shot in the foot after the bullet ricocheted, according to multiple reports.
