• A 27-year-old man shot and killed a 16-year-old who tried to rob him at gunpoint on Wednesday afternoon on the Far South Side, according to police.

  According to preliminary information, the man is a licensed concealed carry holder who was working in the area of the 11700 block of South Normal when the boy approached him around 3:36 p.m. CPD said the 16-year-old tried to take unspecified property from the man while displaying a firearm.

  The man drew his own firearm and shot the 16-year-old in the chest, police said.

  Officers responding to the scene administered CPR in an attempt to save the boy, but he was pronounced dead after being transported to Christ Hospital.
