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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
