A South Side man faces a burglary charge after he was shot by a retired Chicago police sergeant when the man broke into the former officer’s property.
Carl Williams, 51, was charged with burglary after he was arrested in connection with the burglary in the 1300 block of East 67th Street late Friday morning.
Officers were called to the home about 11:30 a.m. after Williams broke into the building. Williams used a three-pound sledge hammer to break a window, according to court documents.
The sergeant saw Williams with the hammer and shot him.
After being shot, Williams ran to the 6600 block of South Kenwood Avenue, where officers found him hiding under some bushes, police said. Officers discovered Williams had been shot in the lower right arm.
