An Amazon delivery driver shot and killed an alleged 17-year-old carjacker in Cleveland over the weekend, prompting an investigation, according to multiple reports.
The Amazon employee was approached by the teen around 4 p.m. on Saturday, Cleveland police told WKYC. The individual attempted to carjack the Amazon driver at gunpoint, according to the Cleveland, Ohio-based TV station.
