Would-be robber killed during shootout with CCL holder on Chicago's South Side
CHICAGO (CBS) – A man attempting a robbery was killed during a shootout with a concealed carry license holder in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood Friday morning.
Chicago police said just before 5:30 a.m., a man, 60, was at a nearby ATM in the 1500 block of West 82nd Street when another man on a bike approached, displayed a firearm, and demanded his property.
The victim, a valid FOID card and CCL holder, pulled out a firearm, and the two exchanged gunfire, police said.
The would-be robber was shot multiple times, and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead.
Meantime, the victim ran to a nearby Marathon gas station at 81st Street and Ashland Avenue, looking for help after the shootout.
Surveillance video from the gas station shows him on the floor of the gas station convenience store after he'd been shot twice.
An employee seemed to try to help him shortly after police arrived. Officers put the victim into an ambulance. He was taken to Christ, where his condition was stabilized.
Two firearms were recovered at the scene of the attempted robbery.
Investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
