Walgreens employee with concealed carry license fatally shoots theft suspect<\/strong>
\nThe shooting was reported at around 2:10 a.m. outside Walgreens, 522 Torrence Ave., in Calumet City.<\/em><\/p>\n

A man who allegedly stole items from a south suburban Walgreens and pointed a gun at workers was shot and killed by an employee who possessed a concealed carry license, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The shooting was reported at around 2:10 a.m. outside Walgreens, 522 Torrence Ave., in Calumet City. According to authorities, a 42-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman were approached by employees after exiting the store without paying for merchandise they had taken.<\/p>\n

Employees took the merchandise from the woman, who fled the scene on foot. The man, however, displayed a handgun when he was approached, police said. In return, a Walgreen’s employee, who possessed a valid concealed carry license, opened fire, striking the suspect, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

The suspect was found by police driving a vehicle in the 1600 block of Sibley Boulevard near Yates Avenue and taken to a local trauma center, where he later died, police said. He was identified as Mario Almendarez, of Chicago, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No word if the late Mr. Almendarez possessed a valid concealed carry license as well. Thanks, Gun Bunny.<\/p>\n

The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.
