A homeowner in the Englewood neighborhood wrested a gun from one of two robbers and shot him early this morning, according to police.
The robber was shot in abdomen and was stable as he was taken to Stroger Hospital, officials said. The second suspect fled, police said.
The two robbers approached the homeowner at about 6:45 a.m. as he was leaving for work in the 5700 block of South Ada Street, police said.
They forced the man back into his home and told him to take them to his safe, police said. When one of the men tried to open it, the man struggled with one of the robbers, got the gun and fired, police said. The other robber then fought with the robber and finally ran off, police said.
Police were still searching for the second robber this morning.
