An attempted carjacking in South Shore Saturday led to a chase on the South Side which culminated in a shooting in South Chicago.

About 1:25 p.m., a 32-year-old man was in his vehicle in the 7700 block of South Bennett Avenue when a maroon-colored Kia Optima pulled alongside, Chicago police said. A person got out of the Kia and tried to take the man’s vehicle but was unsuccessful.
