One man suffered serious head injuries and another man suffered a minor gunshot wound when they got into a fight with a pair of teenagers Thursday night on the city's West Side.
Gilbert Salas, 55, told police that he was watching TV when his 33-year-old neighbor came over and said that someone stole some tools from his pickup in the 5100 block of Bartmer.
Salas then confronted two teens he suspected of stealing the tools with a pistol and fired a shot into the air.
After the teens persuaded Salas to put down his weapon and fight with his fists, one of them tried to pick up the gun, which accidentally went off, wounding Salas in the foot, police said.
"I didn't even know it hit me," Salas said from his home Friday.
One of the teens then allegedly attacked the other man with a decorative brick from a flower bed and a piece of a two-by-four, police said.
"He was badly beat up," Salas said.
The man was transported to University Hospital with severe head injuries. Salas was treated and released, but must stay off his foot for several weeks.
Police are searching for the teens.
