Gun Attack On Indian Liquor Store In Illinois

In the state of Illinois, an unsettling incident unfolded as four armed individuals, aged in their twenties, targeted liquor stores in Chicago.

The first victim was Mr P Beverage Depot in Wicker Park, where an employee of Indian descent, Pankajkumar Patel, faced a distressing encounter.

Two assailants entered the Indian-origin liquor store, holding Patel and his co-worker at gunpoint, while the other two monitored the parking lot.

The criminals, armed with revolvers and semi-automatic handguns, subjected Patel to the terror of a gun pressed against his forehead, and his colleague was physically assaulted.

The perpetrators fled with approximately $3,000 to $4,000 in cash and the employees’ mobile phones.

The spree continued at two more liquor stores, raising concerns about a surge in such incidents in Chicago. Authorities urged heightened security measures for businesses and emphasized the importance of surveillance to deter potential threats.
