Police described the incident as a real shoot out, as the two men emptied their weapons into each other.
The owner of the store was taken to Alexian Brothers Hospital with a gunshot wound to his arm.
The alleged robber, who is reportedly from Hanover Park, was pronounced dead.
Glad the perp only hit the owner in the arm, with the one bullet, which "emptied his weapon"...and that the owner perforated the perp right royally.
Mighty big of the DA & cops to decide not to charge.
I also noticed the owner was able to fire until empty, despite his wound, but had to go elsewhere "to get help dialing 911!" Gives a little extra bleed-out time, just in case the perp may be savable by paramedics.
I'll have to remember that piece of advice. LOL
I'm sure it was because of the wound to the arm and the fact he didn't want to disturb any evidence. (yea that's the ticket...)
It's also good to see the population of my small town reduced by one dirtbag.
