A man has been charged with shooting at two males who allegedly stole his minivan Saturday evening in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side.
About 6 p.m., 44-year-old Wilfrido Cruz called police to report his Dodge Grand Caravan stolen from his home in the 4300 block of West Cullerton, according to a statement from Chicago Police.
Officers responded to meet with Cruz and complete a preliminary report, police said.
Cruz, who has a conceal carry license and a FOID card, left to search for his vehicle armed with a handgun, police said.
A few minutes later, Cruz saw two males in his vehicle two blocks away, in the 4100 block of West Cullerton, police said. He opened fire on his own minivan and the two males, who ran away.
No one was hurt.
Cruz went back to his home and hid his weapon, police said. He then spoke to the officers, who were still at the scene and had heard the gunfire.
The officers discovered Cruz had two semi-automatic handguns, a revolver and a rifle, police said.
Cruz was charged with one felony count of aggravated discharge of a firearm at an occupied vehicle, and is scheduled to appear in bond court Sunday.
