A concealed carry license holder was shot in the shoulder early Saturday after men in ski masks ambushed him outside his vehicle in the South Loop, according to police.
The attack happened around 2:17 a.m. in the 1300 block of South Wabash Avenue. Multiple residents called 911 to report gunfire and, according to one witness, someone yelling, “You’re gonna die.”
Officers arrived to find a 35-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his left shoulder about seven minutes later. Police said the man had just exited his Range Rover when another vehicle pulled up and two men wearing ski masks got out. Both displayed firearms and opened fire on the victim.
The victim, who holds a concealed carry license, drew his own gun and returned fire, according to Chicago police. It is not known if any of the assailants were struck.
The wounded man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition. No arrests have been announced.
