A suspect in a Philadelphia carjacking was shot in the head after authorities say he was trying to rob a second person Monday night.

The person-of-interest in the carjacking is in critical condition, NBC 10 is reporting.

According to reports, around 6 p.m., two robbers stole a man’s wallet, cellphone and car at 10th and Spruce streets.

Then around 8:40 p.m., they tried to rob another man at 18th and Callowhill streets, but that man pulled out a gun and opened fire, shooting one of the suspects, reports indicate.

About 20 minutes later, police say a man in his mid-20s was found at 7th and Callowhill streets suffering from two gunshot wounds to the head.

He was found inside the stolen vehicle and was identified as a possible suspect in the earlier carjacking, Action News 6 ABC is reporting.

Carjacking is a very dangerous business, when the target may be armed.

Did he die? If Normals are shot in the kneecap they seem to die.

Maybe not.

Nothing to damage inside, once the bullet pierces the skull.

“Carjacking is a very dangerous business, when the target may be armed.”

But don’t worry. Biden is trying to make it much safer occupation.

Sometimes your skull isn’t as thick as you think it is.

Oops, never mind. Two to the head should have done it.
