(KFSN) &#8212; Madera Police investigators say surveillance video taken outside the Walmart on Cleveland Avenue is helping them make sense of the moments that led to a woman firing a gun for protection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In this case, the surveillance video really helps tell the story,&#8221; says Madera Police Commander Gino Chiaramonte.<\/p>\n<p>It happened in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n<p>You can see a man approaching a couple in a dark sedan, which quickly leads to a confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>The woman&#8217;s unarmed husband gets out of the car and the man begins to charge at him with a sharp object.<\/p>\n<p>The husband backs up several yards, trying to get away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The wife stepped out of the vehicle and shot one round, striking the suspect\/victim in the throat,&#8221; Chiaramonte said.<\/p>\n<p>The man was taken to the hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what the arguing was about,&#8221; says AJ.<\/p>\n<p>AJ saw it all happen and tells Action News he was just a couple of parking spots away when he heard the gunfire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It all happened pretty quick,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It was really scary because the shot was really loud. It was just one shot. It was one shot. That&#8217;s it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Madera police say the couple has been cooperative with the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>They were released last night after going to the police station for questioning. Officials say there are no plans to pursue charges for the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not a defense of her but it&#8217;s in defense of her husband,&#8221; Chiaramonte said. &#8220;There was a lethal threat and the aggressive nature of him trying to swing and stab, and you&#8217;ll see that in the video.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Police say they don&#8217;t believe the two parties had contact prior to the altercation but the investigation doesn&#8217;t stop here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not case closed yet,&#8221; Chiaramonte said. &#8220;We are doing a lengthy investigation into the histories and trying to figure out what could&#8217;ve caused this in the beginning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the man who was shot is still in critical condition at CRMC.<\/p>\n<p>Police are hoping speaking to him will provide more answers about the initial confrontation. It&#8217;s still unclear at this point if he could face charges in the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wife shoots man with knife running toward husband in Madera parking lot \ufeff FRESNO, Calif.
