IL: Video of failed Carjack, Successful Defense April 2017, Chicago





This carjacking attempt occurred on 8 April, 2017. It did not end well for the would be carjacker, who was fatally wounded.  From the dailymail.co.uk:

The shocking moment a man shot and killed a gunman in a shootout has been captured on surveillance video - and police say he won't be charged.

A motorist pulled out a gun when Ronald Morales, 43, approached his car at a gas station in Elmwood Park, Illinois.

The men shot at each other multiple times in broad daylight before Morales ran away and the driver sped off.

Morales eventually died from his injuries - but police say they won't be charging the man who killed him because he was acting in self defense.
The event was widely reported, but I do not see it on Gun Watch, so we report it here, 10 months later.
