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. ***

She has a very nice place and horse breeding property.
If you’re nice to you, she might sell it to you...
People who are 55... :P
Sadly, all three “teens” are now being supported by taxpayers.
Most likely they already were ...
The clueless author of this article struggles mightily and misses the story lead by a mile.
Let’s correct him:
“Heroic Chicago man shoots criminal teen hijacker in the head.”
Next paragraph:
Neighbors and friends of the brave shooter held a celebratory steak dinner at a local restaurant, while the hijackers screamed in pain as doctors set shattered leg bones and tried to plug bleeding bullet holes. The driver of the hijacking attempt may die.
It’s not that difficult to write a proper news story.
[A concealed carry holder shot two teenagers who were trying to rob him]
GOOD
LOL...nice!
Why did the senior think he had the RIGHT to be in Chicago in the first place?
This story will disappear from news and we will never see the photos of the perps. The only reason for the story is to scorn those who use weapons for self-defense.
Exactly. My oldest son just turned 56. I'm 75, and the senior citizen in the family. He missed being a baby boomer by two years.
Give that man a metal.
Their families will probably file a lawsuit against the guy for damages...and win. That's justice in the USA Today.
Do people realize that the urban black community views the perps as the good guys? Watch the movie Get Rich or Die Trying if you can manage it. This is a way of life for these people and many think these thugs are cool and are heroes.
Its not going to stop. Arm up.
Added, “ArmedCitizen,” to the Keywords list.
Anyone else remember when the Chicago police chief said he’d have his officers shoot anyone with a gun whether or not they had a CCW permit?
This robbery victim is lucky to be alive.
Gotta love a happy ending...
“Learned the right lesson” should be the phrase.
These guys could learn the wrong lesson, ie next time use more people, or just shoot first, or pick obviously weaker targets...
The Second Amendment doesn’t give any right, it enumerates and protects that right.
Those that do are just in denial
