A man standing at a bus stop is recovering at home after being wounded by a stray bullet during a shootout between a shop owner and an armed robber on the South Side, according to police.



The shop owner, who has a valid concealed carry license, was closing his cell phone store for the night about 7 p.m. Saturday in the 3300 block of West 79th Street in the Ashburn neighborhood when someone with a gun approached and tried to rob him at gun point, police said.



The shop owner, who was with several employees, pulled out his gun, and the two began shooting at each other, police said.



During the exchange, a 27-year-old man at a bus stop across the street was shot in the chest, police said. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was treated and later released. The robber fled and no one else was reported injured.
