Turlock police received the report at approximately 10:12 p.m. on Saturday.

An adult male victim was approached by the 16-year-old suspect who allegedly attempted to carjack the victim while in the victim’s driveway on the 900 block of Shawnan Drive, said Turlock police spokesperson Sgt. Stephen Webb.

The suspect, who was allegedly armed with a handgun and bottle of liquor, allegedly demanded the victim’s keys, but the victim refused, said Webb.

The juvenile suspect allegedly threw the bottle of liquor at the victim, hitting him, said Webb.

According to Webb, the victim chased the suspect out driveway and the suspect ran, but as the victim was returning to his home he turned around and allegedly saw the suspect pointing the gun at him.

The suspect allegedly tried to fire the gun, but it did not fire, said Webb. The suspect then fled.

After the misfire, the suspect entered his home and told his family about the incident. One family member called the authorities, while the others went to look for the suspect.

He was located by the victim, and another altercation ensued with the suspect allegedly attempting to fire the gun again.

“While they were trying to detain him he fired the gun again however the bullet became lodged in the gun,” said Webb.

Moments before police arrived, the victim hit the suspect with a baseball bat to get the gun away from him.

Police arrived and arrested the juvenile.

    This alleged article reports an alleged crime that allegedly happened.

    Witness testimony is assumed to be an allegation. No need to reiterate.

    Who in the hell grabs a bat and an innocent person and go chase down someone that pointed a gun at you and pulled a the trigger. My advice is dont pick up a bat, pick up a gun lock your doors and call 911.
    Protect your family and yourself,

    Is Turlock really getting this bad? I wonder if this felon at age 16 is a resident of the low income housing on Linwood that brought a bunch of trash here. Probably.
