Two men armed with handguns attempted to carjack an unsuspecting victim about 3:30 p.m. in the 6500 block of West 89th Place, Oak Lawn police said in a release.
The victim was able to gain access to a weapon and fired an estimated eight shots at the two robbers.
The men fled in a black Jeep Cherokee that was found abandoned in the 6200 block of West 90th Street.
