Save Way

1018 E. 83rd St.

 

"Frank Tadros took several bullets in the chest in the late 1980s during

a holdup of a South Side convenience store where he worked.

 

That didn't scare him away. He continued to work in his family's

stores--and always kept a gun nearby.

 

The gun didn't save his life Tuesday night.

 

At about 4 p.m., the 42-year-old Jordan native was behind the counter of

his store, Save Way Liquor, when a gunman announced a robbery and

pointed a pistol at a clerk, police said.

 

Tadros pulled his 9mm Glock semiautomatic pistol from under the counter

and fired several shots at the robber. One of the robber's two

accomplices shot Tadros twice, police said. One shot hit his right

shoulder. The other went through his back and into his heart, killing

him.

 

'Father, I am dead!' Tadros exclaimed in Arabic, calling out to his

deceased father, his family said." -- thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1144629
