No charges for attempted carjacking...

Prosecutors in St. Louis, Missouri, declined filing charges against a man who allegedly attempted to carjack a marked police SUV while two officers were inside, according to police.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department sought charges of first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and resisting arrest against a 27-year-old suspect who allegedly tried to carry out the carjacking Saturday.
A spokeswoman for the police said Monday that the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s office refused to file charges, the St. Louis Dispatch reported.
A spokeswoman for Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner told 5 On Your Side the case "is under investigation," but declined answering why charges weren’t filed.
Police said officers responded to a report of shots fired Saturday morning at about 3 a.m. in the city. The officers in the marked police SUV said a man stepped in front of their car as it was moving, before the man stood next to the passenger’s window and pointed a gun.
The man ran off when he realized it was a police vehicle, according to the officers.
Talk about your "whoopsie" moment.
