Crime Solved!

Not only was the crime solved, but many future crimes were prevented at the same instant!

  • 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.

Did anyone ever decide to run with that program where a successful Concealed Carrier shooting was rewarded with a free box of ammo?

Congrats to the CCL. If Foxx was in office she’d be leading the justice screaming family and mob to the nearest tree.

One less flea on the dog. I’d be happy to donate a few boxes of ammo to the upstanding citizen along with a $250 gift certificate to Cabella’s in Hammond.

Since "boy" is inaccurate to apply to a 16 year old, what possibly could this mean?

In the early days of the 1970's, Second Chance would give a S&W .44 Magnum revolver to a wearer of a Second Chance vest who successfully terminated a criminal whose bullet was stopped by said vest.

After legal concerns were raised, Second Chance ended that policy but continued to give a new vest to anyone hit.

No, things did not end well for the company after adopting a new material that failed.

I will donate the box of ammo but I will send the family of the 16 y/o a bill to get reimbursed.

I do remember this. And they'd put out a magazine with "saves" by their vest with pics of the coppers and their vest. Second Chance was the gold standard for a long time.

Again, I'd love it if some statistics hound with access to CPD info (HeyJackass?) would start listing the make & model of firearm, caliber, and particular bullet/weight used in these CCL encounters.

He was on surveillance video from inside another locksmith van he hijacked a few months ago. They show his mom a picture. His face is unmistakable. She said that’s not my baby. Wonder is she wishes we would’ve done something about it

For all those who wish to drop off a box of ammunition. Please be sure to have the new mandatory serial numbers ascribed onto all the projectiles first. We would not want to have the upstanding CCL holder in violation of the new law.

Got on the job in 86, retired 9 years ago. Whenever we got one of these " HBD's" ( He Be Dead) the deceased was always good for a couple of future curfews, a couple of field contacts and a mover if he had a driver's license...

But they were the first. Just a pad worn under your shirt, uncomfortable and hot. The company would replace your vest if you got shoot. The founder of the company would video shooting himself in the chest with a large caliber pistol. As I remember they wouldn’t stop a hot 9mm.

The news media is hiding it from the general public. Another example of deception, lying and hiding positive news. If it doesn't fit the narrative, it's not fit to print. By their own actions, words and deeds they prove themselves not to be trusted.

With open arteries, CPR pumps the blood out of them quicker and hastens the effects of inadequate perfusion.
