MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A security guard at a private college in Memphis was carjacked Wednesday morning, according to the Memphis Police Department (MPD).

The woman tried to hit her car's killswitch when a man saw her, got out of the Challenger and fired a shot at her, according to MPD.
The man ran after the woman and followed her into the security office where he pointed a black revolver at her and said, "Give me the keys, hoe," according to police. MPD said that the woman handed over her keys and the carjacker sped off in her blue Challenger. The woman was not injured in the carjacking, police said.
