Pennsylvania Self-Defense: Man Shoots Teen Who Tried to Carjack Him in Philly, Police Say :: 01/13/2022
Only hours after police addressed a spike in carjackings in Philadelphia, a legally armed man turned the tables on an armed teenager who tried to steal his vehicle, leaving the suspect in critical condition following a shootout.
The ordeal began Thursday around 7:30 p.m. along the 6500 block of Cherokee Street. A 60-year-old man was leaving his car when he was approached by an armed 16-year-old boy and a second suspect.
The teen pointed his gun at the man and demanded his keys. The man then took out his own weapon and the two fired a total of 17 shots at each other.
The teen boy was shot multiple times and fled the scene inside a jeep. Remarkably, the 60-year-old man was not struck in the shootout despite the teen aiming toward his face, according to investigators.
