ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say a carjacking suspect in Albuquerque is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot by the driver of the targeted vehicle.
Albuquerque police say the driver acted in self-defense and isn't facing charges in Monday night's shooting.
Police say officers were called to the scene of the shooting outside an apartment complex around 6:30 p.m.
Three men reportedly tried to carjack a couple in a parking lot.
Police say the driver shot one of the carjackers, who was taken to a hospital for treatment. His name hasn't been released yet.
They say the other two unidentified suspects fled and remained at large Tuesday as authorities continue to search for them.
