A woman with a concealed carry permit shot and killed a teen who tried to rob her at gunpoint Tuesday morning on the Far South Side, according to Chicago police.

The 25-year-old woman was standing on a corner when the teen approached around 5:40 a.m. . . .

When the teen pulled out a gun, the woman grabbed her own and fired one shot, hitting the teen in the neck, police said. The teen ran off but was found a block away and taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.

Nice shootin’, Tex!

Society thanks you young lady. May the fools end serve as an example to others.

Teen = black thug

Of course, the grammar challenged writer makes it sound as if the woman shot the robber with her concealed carry permit. Morons!

Small caliber weapon with unsatisfactory stopping power.He might have chosen to shoot her instead of running off.

Guns are illegal in Chicago so this can't be true.

,,,in the Neck!

Ouch,
That Will leave a mark.

Was the woman white? Probably not a problem.

If the ‘victim’ had been a man that killed the teen, trouble to the max. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and Sheila Jackson-Lee and the entire democratic party would be calling for the while male shooter’s arrest and prosecution.

Most likely both were dark hued. Expect crickets from the usual suspects.

In my state of CA, she’d be in the crossbar hotel awaiting her bail hearing.

On the South Side of Chicago
In the baddest part of town
If you go down there
You better just beware
Of a cat named Leroy Brown

I’d bet she’s of Leroy’s family.

In a way its kind of like taking a picture with your cell phone or pocket point & shoot that you have with you rather than getting the best picture possible with the SLR or Hasselblad that is sitting in the closet at home.

I Just LOVE a story with a happy ending!!!!

So who do you have to know to get a CCW in Chicago?

“...He might have chosen to shoot her instead of running off....”

But he didn’t.
He’s dead.
And she’s alive.
Small caliber and shot placement still beats a pointed stick or harsh words any day.

"The teen remained unidentified as of Tuesday evening.."

Archie? Jughead? Reggie? I'll bet it's Reggie!
