This happened in the city that I work tonight. Apparently the rest of the story is that the couple (one male, one female) robbed an elderly lady and then fled on foot. A good samartin saw it and attempted to stop the robbery suspects wherein shots were fired. Whether or not both parties shot is unclear. The male suspect was located dead at the scene. The good samaratin was found to have a MN Permit to Carry.
Some stories report that the female suspect and a witness where arrested and other stories say she wasn't. We'll have to see which story is true and how it pans out.
I spoke with one of my partners tonight and he said in his over 15 years he's never heard of something like that happening with a CCW'r here. I told him that a few months ago a former Marine (in like his 80's) who did not have a permit to carry was attacked by multiple males near his car in a parking lot and shot at them scaring them off. I believe he wasn't charged with a crime even though he did not have a CCW. (He shouldn't have been charged in my mind, however per the law he could have been.). Then a co-worker told him, just read the NRA magazine, you'll see dozens of these incidents a month put in there of self-defense with a gun.
Either way I hope it works out for this CCW'r if it's a good shoot. We'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

Minneapolis police: Robbery may have led to fatal shooting
Updated: October 21, 2011 - 12:47 AM
A man was fatally shot Thursday night in south Minneapolis in what may have been a case of self-defense by another man who interrupted a robbery, police said.
When police arrived, a man with a gun who said he had a valid concealed-weapon permit told them he had interrupted the robbery of a woman in her 60s. The man said that he chased the robbers, a male and a female, exchanged fire and killed the male robber.
Police took both the alleged female robber and shooter into custody while they investigate his account of the shooting.
