From the April 25, 2006 Chicago Tribune:

homeowner on Chicago's West Side shot two men Monday afternoon who refused to leave his front porch and then tried to hurt him, police said.

The homeowner, a 50-year-old man, was trying to leave his home in the 2600 block of West Wilcox Street but found two men, ages 21 and 22, loitering on his front porch, Officer John Mirabelli said. He asked them to leave, but the men threatened him and he went back inside, Mirabelli said.

When he came back out, the two men began to attack him.

The 21-year-old was hit in the groin and was in good condition at Stroger Hospital, police said. The 22-year-old was hit in the hip and right leg, and was also in good condition at Stroger.
