Home invaders take pants from 11

December 31, 2009

SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE


At least three masked men broke into a home on Chicago's South Side early today, made 11 people inside remove their pants, shot one man and fled with the pants, their contents and televisions.

Three or four armed men wearing ski masks forced their way into a home at 6835 S. Champlain Ave., in the Park Manor neighborhood, about 1:10 a.m. and ordered all 11 people inside to remove their pants, police said.

The robbers shot a 33-year-old man in the leg. He was taken to University of Chicago Hospitals and is expected to survive, police said. Police said the man did not believe the gun was real prior to the shooting.

The robbers then fled the home with televisions and the pants, police said.

Police said the robbers apparently made the victims remove their pants so they could steal their wallets and other belongings, as well as to prevent them from pursuing the robbers when they fled.

The incident is possibly drug-related, police said.

Calumet Area detectives are investigating, but nobody was in custody early this morning.
