A licensed concealed carry holder shot and killed a man who broke into his home and charged at him early Monday, a shooting that occurred inside a home directly across the street from a Chicago Police Department district station.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old concealed carry license holder called 911 at 1:24 a.m. and told dispatchers he had shot an intruder inside his home in the 2200 block of East 103rd Street and had already begun performing CPR on the man, who had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. His home is across the street from the South Chicago (4th) District station.<\/p>\n

Officers arrived and took over lifesaving measures, but the intruder, who remained a \u201cJohn Doe\u201d as of Monday evening, was pronounced dead at 1:43 a.m.<\/p>\n

According to a CPD statement, the resident told investigators the intruder charged toward him, prompting him to fire his weapon in self-defense. Detectives are investigating the shooting.<\/p>\n
