CHICAGO (CBS) -- A South Side man is facing felony charges for allegedly shooting at a security guard Wednesday in the Armour Square neighborhood.
About 1:25 p.m. Wednesday, 30-year-old Maurice M. Strickland Jr. of the Park Manor neighborhood threatened the 41-year-old security guard in the 2200 block of South Stewart, according to Chicago Police.
Strickland pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots at the guard, but she was not injured, police said.
