#1 Meanwhile in Chicago: 80-year old Army vet shoots, kills home invader -- 'He saved our lives,' says wife of the shooting of a gunman who intruded into the couple's bedroom on West Side. After the intruder missed with the first round, the homeowner, who had a handgun of his own, fired a single shot, killing the intruder, a police source said. The shooting comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule by the end of June on Chicago's decades-old ban on possessing handguns. During oral arguments in March, the court's majority appeared almost certain to strike down the city ordinance and rule that residents have a right to a handgun at home.

Chicago police have long aggressively been trying to remove guns from the public, saying they are the principal weapons used in murders and employed by gangs to enforce turf through violence. Police let the Korean War veteran, who walks with the aid of a cane, go without filing immediate charges because he appeared to act in self-defense, according to police sources.
