Crooks try stealing car in Philly, strapping it to their vehicle and then taking off. But car owner grabs his gun and fires, killing one suspect.

A crew of three would-be thieves tried to steal a car in Philadelphia on Tuesday morning but didn’t get very far — and one of the suspects was shot and killed by the car’s owner.

Witnesses said the trio hooked the victim’s car with straps near South 58th Street and Cobbs Creek Parkway just before 8:30 a.m., KYW-TV reported. According to WPVI-TV, there was an attempt to tow away the car.

The car’s owner, however, got a glimpse of what was going on and opened fire; KYW said in its video report that shots were fired from inside the car-owner’s residence.

The straps broke away from the targeted car, WPVI said.

And the getaway car — a Honda — crashed into a school bus that was headed in the opposite direction, KYW reported.- READ MORE
