Blocker said the son, who has a license to carry a concealed firearm, pulled out the revolver and fired at least two shots.

Police said the two were attacked by three young men when they arrived at an address in the 600 block of Linwood Avenue, where they expected to close the deal on the vehicle.

Police later found one wounded suspect in the 100 block of Broadway Boulevard, about a mile south of the original incident. 19-year-old Torry Pesche and 23-year-old Christian Logan are both still recovering from the gunshot wounds that forced them to flee the scene of the ambush empty handed. They were taken by ambulance to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo. Blocker said police are unsure whether the attackers were armed.

The third attacker was not found and police are continuing their search.

According to the Battle Creek Police Department, a father and son from Grand Rapids drove to Battle Creek on Tuesday evening after arranging on Craigslist to buy a auto .
