Shootout in Chicago Ends With Man Dead, Concealed-Carry Holder Injured

Being armed in your own defense is not a guarantee of safety, but I still believe it to be a good strategy for dealing with violent encounters. Shootout near Bridgeview pool hall leaves man dead, concealed-carry holder wounded - Chicago Sun-Times

A group of people were playing inside the pool hall about 2 a.m. when another group walked in, Mancha said through a spokesman, citing preliminary information.

When the first group left about 10 minutes later, the second group followed them outside and “words were exchanged,” Mancha said.

Bridgeview, Illinois is a village in Cook County that is about 15 miles southwest of the Loop.

One guy attacked. One guy defended. Though it will be a while before the State's Attorney makes any decision on charges.
