CHICAGO (CBS) -- A fight broke out at a shopping center in the Chatham neighborhood Wednesday afternoon and ended with a security guard being shot to death.

As CBS 2's Sabrina Franza reported, employees that work at the shopping center at 87th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue said the 53-year-old security guard gave his life to protect others.

"The security officer, you know, he was known by many – very friendly; would say hello to us all the time before we started our shifts," said China Brown, who works at the shopping center, "and it's kind of sad knowing that we lost a really good person today."
