CHICAGO, IL — A legally armed citizen shot a suspected car burglar early Monday morning after allegedly catching him in the act of breaking into his vehicle in the city’s Hegewisch neighborhood on the Far South Side.

As reported by CWB Chicago, the initial 911 call came around 1:02 a.m. from the wounded suspect, a 21-year-old man, who claimed he had been shot in a drive-by involving two individuals and a getaway vehicle. However, a follow-up call from a different source—later identified as the concealed carry permit holder—painted a different picture. According to his statement, he confronted two individuals who were breaking into his car and ended up shooting one of them in both legs.

The wounded suspect was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition and is currently in police custody, charged with auto burglary. There have been no reports indicating that the armed citizen was arrested, suggesting that police are treating the shooting as a justified use of force under Illinois law.

This incident underscores the dangers of transitional spaces—areas like parking lots, gas stations, and sidewalks where people are often moving from one place to another. These spaces require heightened situational awareness, particularly during off-peak hours. Confronting someone in the act of committing a crime, especially in the dark, can escalate into a potentially lethal encounter in seconds.

Notably, the suspect was shot in both legs. Whether this was due to a single round passing through or multiple rounds is unclear. Regardless, this outcome highlights the importance of proper training. Under stress, shooters often revert to their training. While some might interpret leg shots

as an attempt to wound rather than neutralize, it’s important to remember that defensive firearms training emphasizes aiming for center mass to quickly and effectively stop a threat. Shots to extremities are more difficult to land under pressure and less effective at stopping an aggressor.
