MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Video surveillance captured a driver getting robbed at a gas station in Southwest Memphis on Sunday night.
According to police, the robbery and attempted carjacking happened at a Chevron gas station on East Shelby Drive just a little after 9:30 p.m.
The video shows one man holding a gun and running up to a driver as he was returning to his car after getting something inside the Chevron.
The suspect is also seen trying to go through the victim’s pockets. That’s when the victim pulled out his gun. It’s hard to make out if the bullets hurt anyone but both the suspect and the victim exchanged gunfire.
“That’s scary to me. Like that’s crazy. I’ve never seen anything like that,” said Sherika Johnson, a gas station shopper. “I’m glad he watched his back and had protection but no one should have to live their life like that.”
The suspect returned to a silver Chevy Impala with two other men inside.
No arrests have been made at this time. This is an ongoing investigation.
