Carjacking suspect flees after being shot in head
AURORA – A carjacking suspect fled the scene on foot after being shot in the head by his victim and crashing the stolen car he was driving.
Police say the victim was still in his white car when it was stolen and he managed to pull out a gun and shoot the suspect in the head.
Authorities say even though the suspect was shot in the head, he still managed to run from the scene. A police dog tracked him down.
The suspect was arrested and taken to the hospital for a gunshot wound to the head and a dog bite, according to Denver Police Detective Virginia Quinones.
Police are trying to determine if the suspect and the victim knew each other and how the victim had a gun.
The carjacking occurred at the 9800 block of East Girard in Denver around 9 p.m. Friday night. It ended with a crash near Havana and Kentucky in Aurora.
After the victim shot the suspect, the suspect crashed the stolen vehicle into another car with five people in it.
Police say rescuers had to cut five people out of the car. All five were taken to Aurora Central, but police say their injuries are not considered serious.
