I know I will catch flak for this but this is sloppy in the least.
If we carry firearms, we MUST be proficient with them and in their operation.
This could have ended very badly for innocent civilians. Where did those "graze" bullets go? :banghead:
ALWAYS be sure of your target and its background, is how I've been trained.

Taking a sure shot at the torso is the right way.
Blasting away a full magazine until the slide locks back empty is just sloppy and gives a bad name to all of us licensed carriers.

Again, I realize some will disagree but being armed is not about our personal safety only. We must consider public safety as well. We don't want to become murderers of innocent bystanders.
You’re not wrong. However, how many gunfights have you been in? I’ve never been in one so hopefully the training I’ve had and the practice I do will result in better hits to center mass than the citizen in Chicago who most likely hadn’t either. I don’t really want to find out. Sometimes law enforcement officers involved in shootings will have many more misses than hits on target, demonstrating that when bullets fly and adrenaline pumps marksmanship is affected.

Re: IL: Chicago CCL wounds two assailants

Since the Chicago Police seem unwilling or unable to stop the violence, perhaps the answer is getting more law abiding citizens armed to handle it.
Of course progressive socialists will think that stopping violence with violence is barbaric, but when normal methods aren’t working something else needs to be done.
