A concealed carry holder was wounded while exchanging gunfire in an attempted robbery Tuesday morning in the Little Village neighborhood.

The 41-year-old man was outside around 6:10 a.m. in the 2400 block of South Avers Avenue when four people got out of a dark sedan and approached him, according to police.

After a brief conversation, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot the man in the thigh. The victim, who has a valid firearm owner identification card and is a concealed carry holder, returned fire, sending the armed robbers fleeing the scene in the sedan without any of his belongings.
