Carjacking foiled
An attempted carjacking was foiled when the victim drew a gun of her own, and then police arrested three teens and an 11-year-old. Wentzville Missouri Police said the confrontation happened around 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning in a parking lot. Police said the victim reported that she noticed four people nearby while she was seated in her vehicle before a teenage boy approached and demanded her vehicle at gunpoint. Police said the woman pulled her own firearm and refused to leave her vehicle, and that prompted the teen with the gun and the other three suspects to flee. Police arrested a 17-year-old, two 15-year-olds and an 11-year-old
