He drew his weapon and opened fire, shooting and killing one of the robbers. The other suspect fled the scene. The age and identity of the two bad guys has not been publicly confirmed.

Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago police spokeswoman, has confirmed that the man had a valid concealed carry license, DNAinfo reports. Thankfully, neither him nor the other man in the vehicle were injured as a result of the incident

Illinois’ concealed carry law went into effect in 2014, making it the last state in the country to allow its citizens to exercise that right.
