An armed carjacker picked the wrong motorist to steal from in Philadelphia, as the victim \u2014 a 59-year-old corrections officer \u2014 had been trained for a moment like this. The victim told responding officers he had departed a friend\u2019s house just before 11 p.m. and entered his white Toyota Avalon sedan, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told\u00a0WCAU-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The victim was then pulled from his vehicle at gunpoint, Small noted to the station, adding that the victim \u201cwas carjacked.\u201d The carjacker was wearing a surgical mask and hoodie,\u00a0WPVI-TV<\/a>\u00a0reported. However, instincts apparently kicked in for the off-duty corrections officer, and he wasn\u2019t about to let the crook make off with his Toyota Avalon unscathed.<\/p>\n

As the carjacker got into the vehicle, the victim pulled out his own gun and opened fire at the suspect, firing at least five shots, Small told\u00a0WCAU<\/a>. That\u2019s when the carjacker sped away in the stolen car, but less than a half-hour later, police found the stolen vehicle about a half-mile away, investigators said. Evidence at the scene suggested the corrections officer had done some damage to the carjacker. \u201cThat vehicle was found with five bullet holes in it and a lot of fresh blood inside the driver\u2019s seat and some on the center console,\u201d Small\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was also reported bullets penetrated the driver\u2019s side window and door as well as the windshield while it was confirmed the vehicle indeed was the corrections officer\u2019s. Noting the fresh blood, the investigators knew the suspect needed medical attention, and their next move was to search local hospitals. Sure enough, that seemed to pan out as a man showed up at a hospital with at least two gunshot wounds to his arms, Small\u00a0reported<\/a>, adding that investigators were trying to confirm if the wounded man is the carjacker.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a possibility that that 21-year-old shooting victim may be the individual that committed this robbery carjacking,\u201d Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small noted to WPVI at the time. Luckily, the corrections officer came out of the ordeal unharmed. It was also\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that the police would be checking DNA evidence to see if there was a match with the hospitalized individual.<\/p>\n

This case is similar to another duo of crooks who decided to rob the wrong people. \u201cNo joke: Robbers walk into [a] bar full of off-duty cops,\u201d\u00a0New York Post<\/a>\u00a0reported. \u201cJoseph McInnis III, 21, and 22-year-old Tyree McCoy robbed a Maryland bar filled with dozens of off-duty officers there for a cop retirement party,\u00a0WBAL-TV<\/a>\u00a0reported.\u201d<\/p>\n

The armed thieves entered the take-out portion of Monaghan\u2019s Pub in Woodlawn, Maryland. They held up an employee at gunpoint before running off with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to the news outlet. \u201cAt that time, the person who had been behind the counter knew that there was a retirement party for a police officer happening, so they went into the other portion and alerted the officers to the fact that they had just been involved in an armed robbery,\u201d Baltimore County Police Officer Jennifer Peach\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Off-duty officers at the shindig quickly ran out and took the men into custody. They were\u00a0charged<\/a>\u00a0with armed robbery and possession of a handgun and were being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center, according to the report. \u201cI\u2019m sure that they weren\u2019t planning on there being a large room filled with police officers,\u201d Officer Peach said.<\/p>\n

Monaghan\u2019s Pub owner Jack Milani\u00a0says<\/a>\u00a0it\u2019s odd that someone would attempt a robbery because a precinct station is across the street. During shift changes, he said, there are a lot of squad cars coming and going into the station, and he said many of the officers are regular customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of odd you would even attempt it,\u201d Milani\u00a0said<\/a>. \u201cOfficers are always in here. There was a decent amount of them.\u201d Cpl. Shawn Vinson\u00a0says<\/a>\u00a0the party was for David Neral, who had been with the Baltimore Police Department since 1988. It just goes to show that intellectually challenged\u00a0criminals<\/a>\u00a0aren\u2019t going away, but thankfully the \u201cgood guys<\/a>\u201d won, and as these two cases demonstrate,\u00a0crime doesn\u2019t pay<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
