An unidentified gunman who shot and wounded a man during an attempted robbery in the Goose Island neighborhood Sunday morning was himself shot and killed moments later, Chicago police said.
The 28-year-old victim of the attempted robbery told police the assailant approached him and announced a robbery around 4:30 a.m. in the 1200 block of West Frye Street just east of the Kennedy Expressway, police said in a news notification. The robber then shot the victim in the leg.
The victim managed to run away after being wounded but told police he heard multiple gunshots fired as he fled, police said. Police officers responding to the scene found the suspected gunman suffering from numerous gunshot wounds to his body. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. The victim of the attempted robbery was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition.
It remains unclear who shot the suspected gunman, who remained unidentified Sunday. Authorities said he didn’t appear to have a prior criminal history with Chicago police.
Frank Castle has arrived in Chicago?
Attaboy, Paul Kersey!
Hahahaha...we were wondering!
These kinds of unfortunate incidents really give Chicago a black eye.
Who the hell in the PD is responsible for making statements like this?

Wouldn’t this mean the dead robber had no ID and his prints aren’t on file?
the officer who asked his colleagues if they recognized the dead guy.
you know, official-like.
Or the supposed robbery victim was the robber, who shot the second man to death but was wounded during the incident.
Occam’s razor...
Authorities said he didn’t appear to have a prior criminal history with Chicago police.
so he jumped feet first into armed robbery... is that it???
The first paragraph was unclear about who was shot. But later in the story it turns out the perp was sent on to his reward.
I saw the word “second city” and immediately assumed that it was a story involving teens
“These kinds of unfortunate incidents really give Chicago a black eye.”
Is that an improvement?
And do you need to capitalize the ‘B’ in black eye?
Or even Paul Kersey.
Warms the cockles of my heart.
I know what you're asking but these days I have no frickin idea what the media is printing.....
With that being said, who really cares if the dead carcass has any ID or not........
Reminds me of my favorite story. An old lady exited a grocery store in East Detroit about 30 years ago. Young knuckledragger decides to snatch her purse. The old lady had a strong hold on her purse and was fighting the knuckledragger. As the news story put it, an older gentleman in an old non-descript Buick stopped his car, got out, pulled a small revolver from his pocket and fired a single shot into the knuckledraggers knee. Without a word, he got back in his car and drove away. The old lady liked up her stuff and left. When the police arrived, they found the knuckledragger holding a bloody kneecap.
Judging by the location, action and description of the car, I’m 100% certain the shooter was the father of an old friend of mine.
And I'm going to find the town black man first thing tomorrow to clear up a few of these (Black Lives) Matters!
