ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando police said the MetroWest Wal-Mart became a crime scene again. Police chased three people and arrested one of them for trying to carjack and shoot a woman at the Kirkman Road store early Tuesday morning.The woman who almost was carjacked is very lucky. She got away without getting hurt and without losing her car, only losing her purse, even though they fired a shot at her.It was a terrifying time in the Wal-Mart parking lot on South Kirkman Road in Orlando. Holly Salazar, 28, was attacked at gunpoint. She told police the gunman hit her on the head and put a gun to her head, threatening to shoot her. But, she told police, she was not getting into the car with the gunman no matter what."I was not scared. I was not getting in the car. I was not scared of the gun. He was gonna have to shoot me to get me in that car," Holly Salazar told Channel 9.Salazar tried everything, screaming, trying to make him think she was going to do what he said, then she ran. She heard a gunshot and never looked back, running to Wal-Mart for help.Eyewitnesses saw a brown van leave the parking lot. Officers found one that fit the description and a chase started. Twenty-five miles away, in Seminole County, the van was stopped on I-4 near Lake Mary Boulevard. Convicted felon James Jamal Wilson, 21, was arrested."I don't want him on the street. The next girl might not be so lucky and he might be meaner next time," Salazar said.A 15-year-old girl and a 28-year-old man were in the van with Wilson. They were released from custody, but police are not done with the investigation.
