Martin, who is the assistant manager at the Dallas apartment complex where the incident occurred, was arguing with an unidentified female resident while sitting in her car when things started to get heated. The woman's husband, identified as 52-year-old Louis Rodriguez, eventually got involved in the altercation.

When she started to feel unsafe, Martin says she retrieved her handgun from her purse and placed it on her lap. She stayed inside her vehicle.

Suddenly, Rodriguez allegedly pulled out a knife and started stabbing Martin, CBS DFW reports . The woman then grabbed her gun and shot her attacker several times. He would later die from his injuries."

Never bring a knife to a gunfight.
