There are times when car thieves hit the jackpot. And there are times they try ripping off an FBI agent.
Early Wednesday at 5 a.m. in the South Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens in New York, three men were breaking into a red Lexis sedan usually driven by an agent’s wife, the New York Times reported. It was parked outside his home.
When he spotted the burglars, the off-duty agent fired a shot from his second story window, wounding one of the suspects, the Times reported. The agent told police the suspects fled in dark colored vehicle, and the one who was believed to be wounded by the agent showed up at the hospital later.
