A security guard shot a suspect in an attempted robbery in the Loop on Wednesday, according to Chicago police. A Brinks truck appeared to be the center of the investigation as police said a man tried robbing the security guard and was eventually shot.
Police said a security guard was leaving a business near Madison and State Street at about 11:19 a.m.Police said there was a struggle between the suspect and the security guard, when the security guard pulled out a weapon and fired shots. The suspect ran off with the stolen items, however, police said he was placed into custody shortly after. Chicago police said the suspect was shot multiple times. He was taken to Northwestern Hospital, where his condition was stabilized. A Brink's armored truck was seen at the scene. A Brink's spokesperson told ABC7 they do not comment on open law enforcement investigations. "Your nerves go a little bit crazy," witness Theresa Bowick said. "I'm a nurse so I'm used to blood, but I got myself settled. I'm worried for Chicago." One man named Kodi witnessed the shootout and said he saw two other men involved in the attempted robbery. "Security guard ended up shooting one of the dudes," Kodi said. "Two of them ran off kind of splitting ways and the other one just dipped out to the street and tried getting to the subway. There was just blood everywhere and I guess he ended up collapsing near the subway.""I'm not really used to this level of crime but it's a beautiful city and I just hope for change and hope for improvement," said a man named Kevin who works nearby the crime scene.
