A Chicago concealed carry permit holder foiled an attack Friday night by pulling his gun and shooting three suspects who were beating him.
ABC 7 reported the incident occurring “around 11:23 p.m. in the 4700 block of West Wrightwood Avenue.”
Apparently, four men were in a disagreement when three of them began beating the fourth. The fourth man, a 43-year-old, then pulled his handgun and shot, wounding all three.
The attackers were ages 22, 29, and 55, and were all in critical condition upon reaching the hospital.
