Things turned violent at a St. Louis gas station one Wednesday afternoon, when a carjacker attempted to take off in a still-running vehicle. When the car's owner confronted the man, the thief pointed a gun in his direction, causing the man to act. The vehicle owner drew his own gun, exchanging gunfire with the thief and striking him in the pelvis. The thief fled the scene to a hospital. There were no other injuries. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis, Mo., 5/31/19)
