One man is dead after a shooting in Evanston and the man who pulled the trigger claims it was an act of self-defense.
The shooting happened at about 11:30 p.m. Thursday in the 1500 block of Jonathan Avenue.
Police said a contractor claims he and a partner were working on a home when a man tried to rob them.
The man told officers that when his partner went to get some more tools, a stranger came up and tried to rob him at gunpoint. |

| It appears the miscreant picked the wrong person to rob. A life of crime cut short in his prime. This will save the county a pile of money and prevent an untold number of future crimes. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
