A concealed-carry license holder fired his weapon after suffering a broken finger when he was attacked by a large group Tuesday morning in the Chatham neighborhood, Chicago police said.
About 8:30 a.m., a security guard was working in the 100 block of West 87th Street when he became involved in a verbal argument that turned physical with a large group of people, police said.
The security guard was hit and suffered a broken finger. The guard, who is a CCL holder, fired his weapon, striking a 28-year-old man in the wrist and ankle. The injured man was taken in serious condition to UChicago Medicine where his condition was stabilized, police said.
No other injuries were reported during the shooting, and detectives were investigating.
