An alleged carjacker was shot last week in San Antonio after the owner realized the suspect couldn\u2019t drive stick.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred around 2:45 a.m. when the car owner and their companion were leaving a local bar. According to Road & Track<\/em><\/a>, two suspects approached them and, at gunpoint, demanded the keys and the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victims complied, handing over the keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A “Sticky” Situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, the situation took a surprising turn when one of the suspects tried to drive the car but realized it was a stick shift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failing to operate the standard transmission, the suspect exited the vehicle. He returned to his own car, where the other suspect was waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, police were called to a home shortly after the shooting and found a wounded young man. He was rushed to a local hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After officers coordinated information, it was discovered that the young man and the carjacker were the same man. He was then arrested for aggravated robbery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
