| The Gunman |
An Uber driver who was credited with stopping a potential
mass shooting in Chicago at the weekend by pulling out his own personal firearm
and shooting the would-be gunman will not face any charges for his actions, a
court has decided.
Prosecutors say the driver with a concealed carry permit
shot a 22-year-old man who opened fire on a group of pedestrians in Logan
Square.
The bullets hit him in the legs and lower back, according to
reports.
The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The
incident occurred about 11.50pm and there were no other injuries.
However Assistant State’s Attorney Barry Quinn says the
driver, who has a firearm owner’s identification card, acted in self-defense
and the defense of others.
The driver is not facing charges.
Court records say the man, identified as Everardo Custodio,
shot at people walking in front of the driver’s vehicle on Friday night in the
busy neighborhood
Police have not yet released a motive for Everado's shooting.
He’s facing charges of aggravated battery with a firearm and
illegal possession of a firearm.
