A licensed concealed-carrier killed an armed robber Wednesday night in Chicago.

The individual in question was sitting in a car with another person when two armed men approached the car. The legal carrier inside of the car fired his gun, striking one of the robbers, Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago Police spokeswoman, told dnainfo.com.

The injured robber was later pronounced dead by authorities. The other thief fled the scene.

Pacheco confirmed that the man who used his firearm had a legitimate concealed-carry license.

The incident occurred on the 4300 block of South State Street. This incident was one of many shootings across the Chicago area Wednesday.
