An off-duty Chicago police officer shot a burglar who broke into his South Side residence this morning, law enforcement sources said.
The officer, who was inside the home when burglars entered the house in the 7600 block of South Vernon Avenue about 9 a.m., shot one of the suspects, the sources said.
Shortly after the shooting, a man with a gunshot wound went to St. Bernard Hospital, and detectives were working this morning to confirm whether that man was the burglar who broke into the officer's home.
We look forward to this being a regular headline once the Supreme Court strike down the handgun ban in Chicago. And to all the commentators over at BreakingNews.com who claim they'd be jailed if they had shot a burglar, nothing could be further from the truth. You might have received a summons and lost your gun in the past, but that was rare in the first place and will cease to occur sometime after June.
Look for J-Failure and Shortshanks to credit CAPS or more "effective" policing for the double-digit drop in property crime for the second half of 2010.
