An armed carjacker picked the wrong motorist to steal from Monday night in Philadelphia, as the victim — a 59-year-old off-duty corrections officer — opened fire at the bad guy, with bloody results.
What are the details?
The victim told responding officers he'd departed a friend's house along East Roosevelt Boulevard near Rising Sun Avenue just before 11 p.m. and entered his white Toyota Avalon sedan, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told WCAU-TV.
The victim was then pulled from his vehicle at gunpoint, Small noted to the station, adding that the victim "was carjacked."
The carjacker was wearing a surgical mask and hoodie, WPVI-TV reported.
