Instead, that 74-year-old pulled out his own weapon that he kept in a grocery bag on the passenger seat of his car and shot the teenager twice in the chest. That teenager ran across the street bleeding and made his way into a neighbor's home. He ran through the house and tried to get out the back door. It turns out there wasn't a back door and he woke up the homeowners, who were asleep inside.
"The guy ran through the kitchen and tried to break the glass with a hand," said homeowner Jorge Ramos. "He couldn't do it so the guy carried the chair and broke it up."
The teenager then ran through the window. He managed to make it a couple of blocks away through some yards and eventually passed out near Wilcrest.
An ambulance took the wounded suspect to a nearby hospital. We don't know his condition at this time.
The 74-year-old man was taken to the Westside police station, where police are interviewing him. Authorities say they don't expect to file any charges.
