CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — A concealed carrier defended his life against three attackers around 10:30 pm on Tuesday. The man was walking down the street when he was approached by the trio, who announced a robbery.
Instead of handing over his wallet or other items, the man drew his handgun and shot toward the group of men trying to rob him about 10:35 p.m. in the 10600 block of South Leavitt Street, according to a statement from police. One of the attackers was shot in the knee, police said.

The armed citizen was not injured.
