It happened around 2:40 a.m. [Tuesday morning] in the 5200 block of West Montana Street, police said.

Officers responded to calls of shots fired and learned that a 39-year-old man was exiting his vehicle when two men approached him on foot, police said. One of those men pulled out a firearm and demanded the victim’s belongings, according to CPD.

The victim, who is licensed to carry a concealed firearm, drew his own gun and fired shots at the would-be robbers, police said. One of the suspects was struck multiple times in the legs, according to police.

Both suspects fled the scene before police arrived. However, the wounded man left a blood trail that led officers from the crime scene to the back door of a home in the 2400 block of North Lockwood Avenue, police said. Cops sealed off the residence as a crime scene.

A 23-year-old man eventually emerged from the home, apparently deciding his need for medical attention outweighed his desire to avoid police contact. Chicago Fire Department paramedics transported him to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was listed in good condition, police said.

Horrible tragedy the 39 year old had to defend himself the best way possible.  The perps will probably not get any time or fines but should have to replenish the spent ammo at least.
