CHICAGO (WLS) -- A 52-year-old man was shot during an attempted carjacking early Monday morning in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood, Chicago police said.
The man was next to a vehicle in the 1700-block of North Damen Avenue about 5:05 a.m. when two suspects approached him and demanded his property, CPD said.
