A man was robbed at gunpoint in Chicago Lawn Thursday afternoon, and one of the robbers was shot, police said.
-- A retired Cook County Sheriff's officer shot and wounded one of three men who were robbing him at gunpoint in Chicago Lawn Thursday afternoon.
As CBS 2's Jermont Terry reported, the retired officer was OK late Thursday, with all signs pointing to his having defended himself after the three robbers tried to take everything he had at gunpoint."Something out the Wild, Wild West," the woman said."I just never thought I'd see anything like that."
"We got off the bus – that's when we were walking," she said."We noticed these gentlemen were robbing this man, because he was taking his wallet and stuff out his pocket." "The man turned to shoot at him, and the sheriff got off a couple of rounds at him, and the next thing we know, the young man was laying on the ground," the woman said."He notified to us that: 'I'm a retired sheriff. Just don't touch anything. Leave everything alone until the police come. My wife is calling the police,'" the woman said."So he did identify himself as a retired sheriff.
