Man shot and killed, woman wounded by would-be carjackers

CHICAGO (CBS) -- One man is dead and a woman is in the hospital after an attempted carjacking in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

Police said, around 12:10 a.m., the victims were in a black sedan in the 4900 block of South Calumet Avenue, when two gunmen approached them and tried to steal their vehicle.

Neighborhood surveillance cameras captured at least six gunshots going off. Seconds later, you see someone running away from that gunfire.

The victims drove off, and the carjackers shot at them as they fled, causing the victims to crash into a white pickup truck. The back windows of the victims' sedan were shot out.
