You saw the viral video. But do you know what really happened before and after the cameras started rolling? This is “Viral Flashbacks,” where the NY Post rewinds the internet’s most unforgettable clips to uncover the overlooked details, surprising backstories and lingering questions you didn’t get the first time around.
On April 20, 2018, an attempted Chicago carjacking exploded into a wild shootout between three suspects and an off-duty police officer near 79th Street and Hamlin Avenue. Somehow, after an estimated 10 to 12 shots, no one was hit, and the would-be carjackers vanished. Host Steven Greenstreet revisits the shocking footage, what brought the officer to that corner at 8:45 that morning, how the suspects escaped and why the case remains unsolved years later.
