CHICAGO -- A 13-year-old boy was shot Friday after he and at least three others tried to break into a parked vehicle in Hyde Park on the South Side, police said.
About 8 p.m., the boy was among "four to five" men who were trying to breach a parked car in the 1100 block of East 52nd Street when the vehicle's owner, a 34-year-old woman, confronted the group, Chicago police said.
One of the men brandished a handgun, but the woman, who possesses a valid concealed carry license, fired her gun and struck the 13-year-old in the neck, police said.
The boy was transported to Comer Children's Hospital in fair condition, police said.
The other men fled the scene.

I most certainly DID NOT declare her safe from harm. I proposed exactly the opposite: She is in trouble with the COURTS because she fired upon people who were fleeing. They returned her fire. People in Illinois cannot use deadly force to protect property.
What does the kid expect?
Hood talk isn’t always right now.
Is that what the original headline said?
No, I was just suggesting an accurate title.
Misleading title. She confronted the youths, one of them brandished a gun, then she shot in self defense.
Take your son to work day.
