CHICAGO - An elderly man with a concealed carry license shot and killed a robber in Chicago on Saturday afternoon, police said.
The 77-year-old was in a garage on East 89th near MLK in West Chesterfield around 12:30 p.m. when the robber drove up.
The robber pulled out a gun and demanded the elderly man's stuff, police said.
Instead of handing his things over, the elderly man pulled out a gun and shot the robber in the head and chest, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. On Sunday, he was identified as Bernard Peterson.
Chicago Police said that the elderly man has a valid Firearms Owner Identification Card and a Concealed Carry License. The Chicago Fire Department confirmed that he is a retired firefighter.

Bernard was a good man - just getting his life together - as soon as he got his GED he was planning to enroll at the University of Chicago Medical School. The Old Man didn’t need to kill him, Bernard just needed some stuff.

West Chesterton looks like a decent neighborhood of tidy houses and well-kept lawns, but it isn’t far from some of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago.
