When both vehicles were stopped at a light at the intersection of Marshall and Hampton Roads, Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt told WPVI a rear passenger exited the Kia and "tried to carjack" the driver who was allegedly sideswiped.
Bernhardt added to the station that "there was an exchange of gunfire," one of the shots hit the alleged carjacker in the back, and the wounded male jumped back into the Kia, which sped off. WPVI said an Upper Darby officer heard the gunfire and called for backup.
