A 23-year-old security guard is facing charges related to a Sunday night shooting in the Loop involving a 34-year-old man who was in critical condition after being shot, according to Chicago police.

Officers were called to the 100 block of North Lake Shore Drive — a few blocks east of Wabash Avenue and Randolph Street — to investigate the shooting about 10:20 p.m., police said in a media notification. The security guard had been in an argument with the 34-year-old when the guard “drew his weapon and discharged it,” hitting the older man at least once in his abdomen.
