A couple in Bellefontaine Neighbors, Mo., had just dropped off their child at school around 9 a.m. on Oct. 13, but came back to their house to retrieve a forgotten item. The woman exited the vehicle and went inside, leaving the front car door open, while the man stayed in the back seat. A male reportedly jumped out of a vehicle that had followed them home and entered the open car door. The man in the backseat shot the would-be carjacker, who then fled to the waiting vehicle. The occupants of that vehicle fired at the defender as they left, striking him in the elbow. Police later arrested the suspected carjacker. (kmov.com, St. Louis, Mo., 10/13/23)
