A carjacking suspect was shot and killed by a man who had a concealed weapon on him in Milwaukee on Monday, officials said.
The Milwaukee Police Department said in a news release the 21-year-old suspect was shot after he attempted to carjack a 24-year-old man around 5:50 a.m. near the Milwaukee MachineTool Corporation.
"This is the worst thing that could possibly happen to someone," MPD Captain Andra Williams told FOX6.
He said the would-be carjacker was also armed, and that as carjacking and vehicle thefts continue to rise the incident should serve as a warning.
"This should be a wake-up call to everyone in the community that this is not a game. This is very serious," Williams told FOX6.

WHAT? GETTING CARJACKED AT 6AM OR GETTING KILLED WHILE DOING IT?...................
Feels good to me - while I abhor the unnecessary loss of life, I celebrate the idea that this is obviously one less person I have to donate range time to.
Had to post this one line - IMO exemplifies the “invincible” attitude of so many of these ineer-city thugs...
“”This isn’t a game. This isn’t live-action ‘Grand Theft Auto.’ You don’t respawn after you’re dead,” “
It would be interesting to know....since the carjacker was armed...did he go through a background check for his gun, and was it legally purchased. If you read the story, they left that out of the general story.
That should be a requirement for all of these stories. It would tell us what we already know about more gun laws effectiveness.
Exactly.
Perp won’t be car-jacking anyone else.
(Apparently so.)😏
But, that's what the left does - muddy the difference between legal and illegal firearms, to further their agenda to take guns away.
Same with criminaliens. They usually don't discern between "illegal immigrants" and "legal immigrants", to further their agenda for open borders.
We outnumber the criminals by about ten to one.
If even a quarter of us are armed then we out gun them too.
Probably not.
Convicted felon.
You think we should make a law that says you ‘really’ have to do a background check, or face harsh-harsh penalties? Something like filling 700 sand-bags, or such?
Indeed another reason to carry extra magazines.
Well there you go again destroying the liberal MSM narrative.
“Johnson said he wants parents to educate their children about the many dangers that come with crime.
“This isn’t a game. This isn’t live-action ‘Grand Theft Auto.’ You don’t respawn after you’re dead,” he told FOX 6.”
Maybe not quite what you might expect to hear from the Alderman, Cavalier Johnson.
You missed my point (by a mile). I’m saying any story dealing with death by gun should have in it whether the gun was legally owned or not. if the majority of these were illegally owned then it would PROVE criminals don’t follow gun laws.
Just a minor correction to your point. It should be whether the gun was legally owned or not by the perpetrator. The media would spin it that the gun was legally purchased but fail to mention that the perp wasn’t the legal owner.
Correct.
