A 56-year-old man carrying a concealed gun fought back against a trio of armed teenage carjackers in Chicago and turned the tables on them, shooting and seriously wounding two of the suspects, while the third broke a leg in a car crash.
The man was in his vehicle in the 4700 block of West Arthington Street, which is on the west side of the city, just before 6 a.m. Monday when three male teens approached in a vehicle, police told WLS-TV.
One of the suspects pulled a gun on the man and demanded his belongings, WBBM-TV reported.
But the man wasn't about to become a victim. Instead he exited his vehicle, struggled with at least one of the suspects, and then pulled out a gun of his own and opened fire, WBBM said.
They all suffered the consequences:
WBBM said the suspects' vehicle crashed through an open lot. A neighbor who heard the crash told the station it sounded like a "train got hit or something."
Police told WBBM the man who shot the suspects has a license to carry a concealed gun and was not injured in the incident, adding that detectives are investigating.

Carjackers in the Windy City seem to have been meeting with resistance of late; a 17-year-old carjacker died last week after a woman carrying concealed shot him in the head during an attempted heist on the south side the day before Thanksgiving.
In July, a woman with a concealed carry license shot at a group of males who pointed a gun at her as they attempted to steal her car — and a 13-year-old male with the would-be thieves was shot.
