The incident occurred around 11:19 a.m. when the suspect attempted to rob the guard shortly after he exited a business, leading to a struggle where the guard fired his weapon, striking the suspect who fled the scene with a money bag before being apprehended nearby.
The emotional moment unfolded as the guard’s mother, Anita Colon, traveled from Tennessee to the site after learning of the incident through her son’s call. Upon arriving, she embraced her son, expressing relief that he was unharmed. The suspect, transported to a hospital, is currently in stable condition while charges are pending, as the police investigation continues and nearby CTA train services face disruptions due to the ongoing scene investigation.
