CHICAGO (WLS) — A man was shot during an attempted carjacking at a gas station early Monday morning on Chicago’s Near West Side.
A 46-year-old man was shot around 1 a.m. while sitting in his car at a Citgo gas station in the 200-block of N. Western Avenue, Chicago police said.
Chicago police said three men pulled up in a dark sedan and approached the victim with guns and demanded his vehicle.
Surveillance video of the incident shows the dark car pull up alongside the victim’s vehicle, boxing it in, before three people exit the dark-colored car.
At least one of the suspects was caught on camera appearing to draw a firearm. ABC7 Chicago froze the video before shots were fired.
