Gunman injured in Chicago holdup attempt CHICAGO, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- A man was shot with his own weapon and critically wounded during a robbery attempt in Chicago, authorities said. Police said two men, one with a gun, attempted a holdup of a third man on Monday evening. The intended target ran into a convenience store, then struggled with the armed man, while the accomplice fled. The gun discharged during the fight inside the store, striking the gunman in the left leg, according to police. "He may have bled out at the scene if paramedics hadn't taken him to the hospital," a police source told the Chicago Tribune. The injured man was taken to a local hospital where he remains under guard. Police said he is a convicted felon with pending weapons and narcotics charges. The robbery victim was unharmed, but a bullet or bullet fragment struck a 10-year-old boy in the leg. He was treated at a hospital and released, police said.
