64 yo is on the phone with his son when the son hears gunshots and his dad say "I've been shot."
Police find the man, who had a CCL, and the man who tried to rob him, both dead.
The father was basically a good guy who grew up in tough neighborhood but made something out of his life.
The robber:
Another part of the story says that release was parole, not completion of sentence.Court records show the suspected robber had an extensive criminal background with numerous arrests and felony convictions for gun and theft charges. The man was released from the Pinckneyville Correctional Center on stolen vehicle and gun convictions exactly a month to the day he was killed, state records show.
Illinois is tough on guns and gun owners, not on criminals.
