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.

LOL! You’re so bad.....
“If only the robber had been vaccinated...”
Since he wasn’t vaccinated he’ll be recorded as a COVID death!
The writer called the 77 year old man ‘elderly’. I take issue with that statement. I have come to the conclusion that elderly means someone 20 years older than me.
Wouldn’t surprise me, these days.
Good friend knows a guy. Car fell on him.
Cause of death ➡️: COVID-19.
