Crooks pick the wrong victim in Harper Woods
Two would-be thieves wound up fleeing their intended victim Saturday afternoon.
The men, one armed with a handgun, tried to carjack a man in the Sears parking lot about 2 p.m. at Eastland mall, according to a Harper Woods Police press release.
But the man turned out to be a retired Detroit Police officer -- and he had a handgun, Harper Woods Police said.
The retired officer fired one shot at the men, striking the stolen Dodge Durango truck they were driving, police said.
Detroit Police found the truck on Buckingham Street, but the suspects were gone. No one was harmed in the shooting and Harper Woods Police detectives are investigating the case.
