A 22-year-old DeKalb man is in custody after allegedly using a firearm to rob an Oswego man sitting in his driveway early Saturday morning.
According to Oswego police, at approximately 3:24am Saturday, officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Concord Drive South for a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, they interviewed an Oswego man, the victim, who reported that he was sitting in his car outside his home when he was approached by the suspect who displayed a firearm and robbed him.

The victim fired multiple shots at the suspect, after which the suspect fled by car.
