The Chicago Tribune noted that the alleged robber was 42 years old, and he was with a 48-year-old woman, both of whom allegedly ” tried to leave the Walgreens separately without paying for merchandise.”
Walgreens employees were able to recover the goods from the woman but the man allegedly pulled a handgun when employees approached. At that point, “A store employee with a concealed carry license shot the man in the chest.”
