Concealed carry license holder reportedly thwarts carjacking, injures armed offender
Chicago police say a concealed carry license holder thwarted an attempted carjacker by returning gunfire, critically wounding the offender but walking free himself unscathed.
The 45-year-old male victim was in his vehicle at approximately 1:27 a.m. on Monday in the 5500 block of West Chrystal Street in the Austin neighborhood when he was approached by an unknown male offender, according to the Chicago Police Department. The offender produced a handgun and fired shots at the victim, police said.
Luckily, the victim — reported to be a concealed carry license holder — was armed and returned fire. He struck the offender one time in the upper chest area, police said.
The offender was transported by the Chicago Fire Department to Loyola hospital in critical condition, and the offender’s gun was recovered on the scene.
Awesome
The offender be wearing some hot lead now
A majority of the dirt bag criminals would think twice about robbing, raping, car jacking, looting and jumping people for no reason if they knew there was a possibility they would get shot.
Carjackings in Maryland will be declining very soon.
