A concealed carry permit holder shot and fatally wounded a tow truck driver who allegedly pulled a gun on him during a road rage incident Tuesday in the Chicago-area village of Crestwood, police say.
FOX 32 reported the shots were fired just after 3:00 p.m.
The concealed carry permit holder was driving a Buick and police believe there was a road rage incident that resulted in the tow truck and the Buick crashing. The drivers continued moving toward the access road and once they both stopped, the tow truck driver allegedly pulled a gun, the Chicago Sun-Times noted.
The concealed permit holder responded by shooting the tow truck driver.
The tow truck driver was transported to a hospital, where he died.
