At some point during the struggle, the man, who holds an Illinois Firearms Owner's Identification (FOID) card shot the suspect in the chest, police said. Both suspects fled the home.

The male suspect went to a hospital in critical condition. The female was not injured. Both have been arrested.

He's about in the shape you'd expect an 80 year old to be in after a physical assault. The old guy was lucky he was armed - they'd probably have beaten him to death.

If I’m ever hospitalized for something serious, “Resurrection Hospital” sounds like the place I want to be
