CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Concealed-Carry License holder fatally shot a man who was trying to break into a South Side apartment on Saturday morning, Chicago police said.
Police said a 33-year-old man tried to break into a home in the 3400-block of West Monroe Street just before 7 a.m.
A 28-year-old woman with a CCL was inside the apartment with multiple other people, police said. She discharged her weapon, striking the man in the body twice.
The man was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The CCL holder was taken to Area 4 for questioning. Investigators said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related.

You don’t need a permit inside your own home I hope, even in Illinois.
A well placed double-tap.
Double tap, double done. Good shot.
If you ever have to use deadly force in self-defense, police will question you. You’d be smart to say only the following two phrases, “I feared for my life,” and, “I want a lawyer present during any and all questioning.” Then, shut up.
“She discharged her weapon, striking the man in the body twice”. I wonder how many rounds she put down range. Sounds like she’s pretty fair shot.
“trying to break in”
He better have been technically “in” or the shooter is in trouble. There is a case where a guy punched through a sidelight window next to a front door and was shot dead by the occupant inside the house. The court ruled that the fist going through the sidelight constituted “entry” and the home’s occupant was found not guilty.
No names or pictures?
That’s what Kramer said. TCB!
Leroy? Is that you?
"All questions must be directed to my attorney. I invoke my right to remain silent, my right to counsel, and my right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures."
Blatantly un-Constitutional, but the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has never seen a gun control butt it didn't want to kiss.
Do you have to have a CCL to protect your family and home from intruders in Illinois???
There is no way to ever know how many future crimes may have been prevented with this one justifiable act of a citizen protecting himself/family/home which resulted in a guy ending up at room temperature.
This is how it is supposed to work (with or without a CCL) . . .
Or herself (my apologies) . .
.
If someone is breaking down your door that doesn’t constitute use of deadly force in itself. If they break down your door and come at you, that’s another matter.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.
3400 W. Monroe isn’t the south side, it is the middle of the west side. Media sucks in Chicago. The west side is predominantly black, south side is a mix of black, white, and hispanics. I guess they don’t want to demonize a certain demographic too much.
It’s me Dave man, open up, I got the stuff…
SAVED CHICAGO PD SOME STRESS——
GOOD SHOOTING, SISTER
If she was in her apartment what does it matter about the carry license?
