The stepson of a 55-year-old suspected robber shot dead Saturday night at a Southwest Side store by a customer with a concealed carry license expressed anger, frustration and doubt about the incident Sunday.
Killed was Reginald Gildersleeve, 55, of the 5000 block of South California Avenue, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Gildersleeve was pronounced dead at 7:10 p.m. on the scene in the 2700 block of West 51st Street, according to the medical examiner's office.

Somethin don’t seem right, was the local vernacular I surmise.
I used to own a gun just like the one pictured, even down to the blue paint wearing off, (from all those quick draws).
OMG! Not another white Hispanic!?
You can’t shoot to wound. Guys have been shot in the skull or chest in combat and lived, others shot in the leg or arm have died in a few minutes, if it hits a main artery or vein (bleed out).
You can never tell. When you shoot someone, it’s always a kill shot. If the shot person lives, they’re lucky.

Hey, everyone, pay attention: The Gildersleeves are special. I repeat, the Gildersleeves are special. That is all.
I’m not certain, but I think you misunderstood my comment ... maybe I wasn’t clear. I was saying that the step son’s statement to shoot to wound was an eye-roller. Wounding someone who is holding a gun and threatening you is a terrible strategy, since they will still be able to fire their gun. I don’t know where these idiots come up with this logic, but I read similar comments from time to time, from the friends and family of someone that gets put down while they are in the commission of a felony.
There he was, innocently committing a crime, & Bam! Some bastard off and shoots him!
What’s wrong with this world when you can’t commit a crime and you can’t even be safe!? That aint right!
I know that, perhaps you didn’t realise that my post was a sarcastic one? Please see my further explanation in post 49.
Hey, RedWhiteBlue, I did understand. I was replying to the original statement, not yours! Sorry I was not clearer.
I cant read the article without registering subscribing. And I am doing neither.
“Unfortunately the federal âguidelinesâ got him 15 years on top of that.”
HOW did federal guidelines apply to this case??? Did the thug fall in the entrance to a post office or something?
I usually fire two warning shots around the heart area. ;-)
WaPo article on incident:
What, say the armed robbers? Our intended victims are now shooting US? How unfair!
In the words of Inspector Clouseau: NOT ANY MORE!
We just had a double thug killing in Reading, Pa where the perps came in, one with a gun another with a stun gun. A shot was fired and the two owners said “BOOSHIT! Senors” and blew two of them away. A third got away but the cops are still following his trail of excrement as we speak.
