A legally armed food vendor shot and fatally wounded an alleged robber just before 9:00 p.m. Friday in Chicago.
The vendor “is a CCL [concealed carry license] holder” who found himself in a shootout following “a brief struggle” with a man–the alleged robber–who was around the age of 30, WGN-TV reported.
CBS Chicago noted that the alleged robber was struck “multiple times in his body and was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he died.”
The food vendor was also shot but is listed in good condition and is expected to survive his injuries.
WLS pointed out that detectives recovered two guns at the scene.
