The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the 58-year-old permit holder “heard a car alarm around 3:40 a.m.” in the West Chesterfield neighborhood and ventured outside, where he found two suspects in his car.
One of the two suspects allegedly showed a gun, at which point the permit holder opened fire, striking a 17-year-old alleged carjacker twice. The 17-year-old was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
FOX 32 noted that the second suspect was able to flee the scene and escape the scene in a minivan.
The 58-year-old car owner has a valid FOID card and a valid concealed carry permit.
