From Chicago, Illinois<\/a>;<\/p>\n

A retired Chicago police officer shot and killed a man who he said was trying to carjack him Wednesday night in the Bridgeport neighborhood, police said.<\/p>\n

The suspect who died was shot in the upper body several times and police said his two accomplices were arrested.<\/p>\n

The suspects picked a retired Chicago police officer to carjack just before 7:30 p.m. in the 2900-block of South Shields Avenue.<\/p>\n

The retired officer in his 60s was either in or out of his vehicle on the street when he was approached by three men and one of them had a gun, police said. The retired officer managed to fire shots at one of the three who tried to take his car, police said.<\/p>\n

That suspect was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, where he later died. The suspect has been identified to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office as 20-year-old Lazarick West of Chicago.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Fayetteville, North Carolina<\/a>;<\/p>\n

A Fayetteville convenience store clerk opened fire Wednesday night one two masked men who came into the store carrying a gun, police said.<\/p>\n

The shooting occurred shortly before 10 p.m. at the Five Star BP gas station, at 2101 Cedar Creek Road, police said.<\/p>\n

A woman who was staying a a nearby motel was leaving the convenience store and saw two masked men running inside, so she called 911, according to the store owner, who identified himself only as “C.J.”<\/p>\n

Clerk Bassam Albareti, 29, saw on the store’s security camera two suspected robbers coming in and pulled out a gun, the owner said. Albareti fired several shots through the glass that enclosed the counter, hitting one man in the leg, the owner said.<\/p>\n

The would-be robbers dropped their gun and fled. The owner said the gun wasn’t loaded.<\/p>\n

“One of the suspects actually went to a residence somewhere in the county and called 911, saying he had been shot,” said Sgt. Shawn Strepay, spokesman for the Fayetteville Police Department. “Throughout the course of our investigation and the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office investigating that [911 call], we were able to tie everything together and determine that, even though he was calling 911 saying he had been shot, claiming he was a victim, he was actually the suspect in our case.”<\/p>\n

The caller was identified as David Glenn Perry, 19, of Stedman Cedar Creek Road. He was being treated at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center.<\/p>\n

The second suspect was identified as Noah Lee Rowsey, 19, of Bullock Court. He was being held in the Cumberland County jail under a $50,000 bond.<\/p>\n

Both men face charges of robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

The store owner said he allows his employees to carry weapons to protective themselves. The employees have permits, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Surveillance footage of the exchange went viral when thousands of people shared the story and video across social media. <\/p>\n

A Memphis mother was watching the news and recognized the robber as her 20-year-old son, Derriontay N. Perry. <\/p>\n

She did not hesitate to call the police. Officers arrested her son without incident on April 25. <\/p>\n
