Carjack Suspect Shot By Victim
A carjacking victim pulled a gun he had been sitting on and shot one of his assailants, critically wounding the man, Clayton County police said Saturday.
Joshua Sanders, 19, of College Park, was in critical but stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital Saturday night.
Police said his alleged accomplice, Deandra Dawson, 19, of Marietta, called Eric Griffin of Marietta late Friday claiming she was stranded.
When he arrived, she introduced Sanders as her cousin and asked Griffin to drive him home, Capt. Jeff Turner said.
Sanders pulled a gun during the ride and the pair forced Griffin from the vehicle, Turner said. Griffin, who had been sitting on a handgun all along, pulled the weapon and fired as Sanders and Dawson tried to drive away, striking Sanders twice in the upper torso, Turner said.
Dawson fled the scene but Sanders' father brought her back and turned her over to officers, police said.
