RawNews1st – at approximately 11:00 p.m., patrol officers from the New Castle County Division of Police were dispatched to the 3000 block of Court Ave, in the community of Clearfield Village for the report of shots fired.
When officers arrived, they located an 80-year-old victim who reported that while he was looking for an item in his car, he was approached by three black males who had parked a white SUV in the middle of the road.
The suspects implied that they had a firearm and ordered the victim out of his vehicle. As the victim began to exit, one of the suspects pulled the victim from his vehicle. The victim who possesses a valid concealed carry permit pulled out a handgun and fired at the suspects.
The suspects fled in the victim’s vehicle and the white SUV. The victim’s vehicle came to a sudden stop and the suspects subsequently fled on foot before being picked up by the operator of the white SUV.
Detectives from the New Castle County Division of Police Criminal Investigations Unit arrived at the scene and assumed the investigation. There was no indication that anyone was struck by gunfire.
