This is less than an hour by car (depending on traffic) from the homestead of Dear Leader. Liquor store robber fatally shot by clerk in Crest Hill :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

About 10 p.m., the suspect, who's identity has not been released, came into S and A Liquor at 1480 Cedarwood Dr. in Crest Hill and demanded money, police said.

"There was a struggle and the clerk fired a shot which appears to have hit the robber before he ran out," Crest Hill police Chief Dwayne Wilkerson said.

He showed up at a local hospital and was identified as the would-be robber. He eventually died from his wounds.

I wonder if they will try to charge the clerk for defending himself?
