A shootout ensued and the gunmen ran back to their vehicles and fled the scene, according to officials.

The concealed carry holder suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and a graze wound to the head, police said. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was listed in good condition.

No one is in custody as Area Three detectives investigate.

Minutes earlier, a woman was hit in the head and carjacked less than a mile away.

The 48-year-old was standing outside with a male friend around 3:35 a.m. when a black Jeep pulled up and three people got out of the car and demanded their property in the 700 block of South Wells Street, police said.

One of them struck the woman in the back of the head and the suspects took her Chrysler 400 and personal property from both victims, police said.

They drove off in an unknown direction.

Police have not said if they believe the two incidents are connected.
