A security guard is facing potential charges after a physical confrontation led to gunfire on Chicago's South Side. The incident took place at a Chatham neighborhood strip mall early Tuesday morning, with the guard sustaining injury and one man being shot, as reported by the Chicago Tribune.
The altercation began around 8:30 a.m. on the 100 block of West 87th Street. Chicago Police Department indicated that the guard, who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, got into an argument with a sizable group, hence leading to the confrontation. During the incident, a 28-year-old man suffered gunshot wounds to his wrist and ankle and was subsequently hospitalized in serious but stable condition, according to ABC7 Chicago.
As detailed by ABC7 Chicago, there were no more injuries reported, as emphasis shifted to the wounded man's condition, who was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center. The security guard, confirmed to hold a valid Firearms Owner's Identification (FOID) and a Concealed Carry License (CCL), has become the focal point of Area Two detective's ongoing investigation.
