A garbage truck driver with a concealed carry license killed one alleged armed robber and left a second in critical condition in Chicago at about 5:18 a.m. on Friday.
CBS News noted that the alleged robbers, at least one who was armed, approached the garbage man while he was in an alley. WGN-TV noted that the driver was outside the truck when the two suspects approached.
The driver pulled his gun and gunfire was exchanged, leaving one of the alleged robbers, a 42-year-old man, fatally shot in the head and the second, a 20-year-old man, critically wounded via a shot to the neck.
NBC 5 reported that the garbage man was taken to a hospital for evaluation and “was last listed in good condition.”
The garbage truck driver has a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card and concealed carry license.
