IL: Chicago Armed Victim Shoots at Armed Robber

 Police corrected the account to say the armed robber was not grazed by a bullet.

 

CHICAGO — A 17-year-old boy narrowly escaped with his life after a concealed carry holder shot him as he robbed a Northwest Side burrito stand on Monday night, according to Chicago police.

The well-known troublemaker pulled a gun on the staff at Taco Burrito King, 5413 West Belmont, around 9:35 p.m. and demanded cash from the register. Things went smoothly at first, with the cashier handing over money as instructed.

But then a “male victim” inside the restaurant who is a licensed concealed carry holder confronted the teen, Chicago police said in a media statement. The man pulled out his firearm and started shooting. Some bullets flew through the restaurant’s windows; another grazed the boy’s arm.
