A concealed carry holder shot two teenagers who were trying to rob him Monday morning in Austin, according to Chicago police.

The man, 56, was in his car in the 4700 block of West Arthington Avenue when three teens approached in another car just before 6 a.m., police said.

The incident unfolded around 6 a.m. in the city’s west side when a vehicle with “three males inside” approached the victim, who was inside his own vehicle, Chicago Police told Fox News Digital in a statement.

“One of the individuals got out of the vehicle, pointed a firearm at the victim and demanded his belongings,” police said.

“A struggle ensued before the victim,” whom police say legally owned a firearm and was a concealed carry license holder, “withdrew his weapon and fired several rounds.”

Chicago Police say “The offending vehicle then attempted to flee, but crashed nearby.”

The teen who was driving was struck in his head and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, police said.

Another teen was located several blocks away with a gunshot wound to his shoulder. He was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, police said.

The third teen broke his leg in the crash and was transported to a hospital in fair condition, police said. ***

56 is not a senior citizen

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Hopefully the thugs will die or have life changing injuries due to this encounter. Sorry about the guy who broke his leg. It should have been a head shot instead.

Head shot and the perp is in the hospital? Shoulder shot and perp walked away. Good aim, wimpy firearm.

"Teenagers"
"Teens"
"Individuals"

"Geez, Wally. Mayfield is getting a bit tough. You thinking what I'm thinking about these 'teens'?"

If you are 55 or older, you ARE considered a senior citizen in the United States.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Not bad from the shooter’s point of view. 3 perps, 3 victims; One head shot, a shoulder shot, and a broken leg AND a wrecked vehicle (although it was probably stolen). All in all, not bad.

“Learned a lesson”? Doubtful.

There is a tagline by someone who shall remain anonymous out of respect for their privacy.

Something like “I’m older now and can’t beat you in a fight so I may have to just kill you.”

DAMN RIGHT.....

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I agree. All in all not a bad day at "the range".

[Hot Tabasco]

56 is not a senior citizen

Who cares?......Sheesh!

[frank ballenger]

Mayfield....

Even though my 1950s childhood suburban city looked exactly like Mayfield our relatives from “up north” in Michigan were always astounded that we locked the house doors when we left for the day. Why?

[NorthMountain]

Bloody hell ... since when is 56 a ‘senior citizen’???

[hanamizu]

“....legally owned a firearm and was a concealed carry license holder”

---

And if the victim had not been a ‘concealed-carry license holder’—what would have happened to him then?

Article neglects to say if the ‘teen’ was a concealed-carry license holder or if his firearm was ‘legally owned’. Guess that detail isn’t important.

"...56 is not a senior citizen..."

Thank you.
I am 58.
I do NOT consider myself a 'geezer'.
Nor have I ever taken advantage of any senior citizens' discounts.

Yet.

[NorthMountain]

Oh, yeah: Mess with the bull, get the horns.

The lesson of Pearl Harbor Day.

[gundog]

The story doesn’t mention the race(s) of the perps, but does assume their pronouns....

[NorthMountain]

If you are 55 or older, you ARE considered a senior citizen

Heck with that noise!
