\nOne of the spate of shootings that took place in Chicago, Ill. over the July 4th holiday weekend involved a veteran with a concealed carry permit who was forced to a shoot a man who began firing on him and a group of friends.<\/p>\n
\tThe incident occurred Friday night, the Chicago Tribune reports.<\/p>\n
\tThe veteran and three of his friends were leaving a party on the city\u2019s south side. When the group reached their vehicle, a container with liquor was sitting on top of it. A woman from the group asked another group gathered next door who the liquor belonged to and removed it.<\/p>\n
\tThe move angered 22 year-old Denzel Mickiel, who approached the veteran and his friends shouting obscenities. The man then went into his residence and returned with a gun.<\/p>\n
\tAs Mickiel opened fire on the group, the veteran took cover near the vehicle\u2019s front fender, according to assistant state attorney Mary Hain, the Chicago Tribune reports.<\/p>\n
\tThe veteran fired two shots, hitting Mickiel both times.<\/p>\n
\tTwo of Mickiel\u2019s friends also began shooting at the group, which was able to flee the scene in their vehicle.<\/p>\n
\tMickiel was transported to the hospital and is in critical condition. A woman in the veteran\u2019s group was hit twice \u2013 once in the arm and once in the back \u2013 but was stabilized and taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n
\tMickiel is charged with attempted murder and will be held on $950,000 bond.<\/p>\n
\tHad Friday\u2019s shooting occurred a little more than a year ago, the veteran would not have been legally permitted to conceal carry his firearm.<\/p>\n
\tIllinois was the last U.S. state to allow citizens to carry concealed weapons with a permit, finally passing a law on July 9, 2013. The state began issuing conceal carry permits in February.<\/p>\n
\tSeven people died and approximately 50 were injured in shootings that took place in Chicago over the weekend. The city has among the highest violent crime rates among major U.S. cities.<\/p>\n
