Police say Gary Don Carner of Amarillo fatally shot 63-year-old Sharrel Blankenbaker of Felts, Okla., as she tried to protect her granddaughter from being kidnapped at a truck stop about a half-mile away from where the younger girl was then taken Tuesday night.
The deputy, who has been placed on administrative leave, shot Carner after the 11-year-old jumped from the man's pickup not far from where she was snatched.
