Five men tried to steal the victim's truck from a construction site at Vernor and Cabot in southwest Detroit around 5 a.m., according to police. The victim, who was working as a security guard, is reportedly a former Troy police officer.

The security guard fired shots at the group of men, hitting two of them, police said. They were both taken to a hospital where one was listed in critical condition.

The three other men were arrested.

The security guard was not hurt. His name was not released.
