DRIVER SHOOTS 16-YEAR-OLD ATTEMPTED CARJACKER

Police Said There Were 750 Carjackings In All Of Last Year. So Far This Year, There Have Already Been 91 Carjackings.

A driver in Philadelphia turned the tables on a would-be carjacker on Thursday night as the city continues to deal with a rise in carjacking incidents, according to police.

Gunfire erupted around 7:30 p.m. along the 6500 block of Cherokee Street in West Mount Airy.

"Our 60-year-old carjacking victim is very, very lucky," Small said.

That victim, Oliver Neal, says he was getting out of his car when two young men approached him and demanded his keys.

Neal says one of them had a gun and pointed it six inches from his face, so Neal says he had no choice but to fire his weapon.

"He said 'give me the keys.' By then I had my hand on my weapon and saw him tighten his grip and I knew I had to shoot," Neal said. "I think he shot first but I don't know. All I know is we went back and forth. I started shooting and next thing I know, he hops across the street, drops to the ground... I just kept shooting."
