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. ***

Yes, a feelgood story. Until the City finances the perp’s lawyer’s and the old guy loses everything. And the “Justice Department” persecutes the old fellow for violating the perps civil rights. Hey, ALL you guys over 55 are a bunch of geezers! Get over it!!
All of the THUGS lived? I’m very sorry to hear that.
Thank you!
Just wait until Jan first when the safe t act goes into effect. Thanks to fat azz pritzker
Am I the only one who is impressed that the thugs start working at 6am? Petty ambitious. Probably a lot of competition in that neighborhood.
The Left has been spewing that lie for almost a century and love it when others repeat it.
The right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable right, not a right bestowed by any law or government. The Second Amendment makes clear that the government, or anyone else, shall not infringe on it.
I love happy endings...
You are correct. Self protection by any means is our God given right. The Second Amendment reinsures that right.
“to old to fight, to tired to run away, to stubborn to quit——so I’ll just kill ya instead”.
