A Washington state man was charged with burglary after getting shot while allegedly breaking into a South Side home Thursday morning in the Calumet Heights neighborhood.

Coba Palmer, 29, of Vancouver, Washington, faces one felony count of residential burglary in connection to a home invasion at 10:47 a.m. in the 8700 block of South Euclid Avenue, according to Chicago police.

Palmer’s alleged efforts were foiled when a 71-year-old man with a concealed-carry permit shot him in the hand, police said. He was taken into custody once officers arrived and was brought in good condition to University of Chicago Medical Center.

His next court appearance was scheduled for Oct. 25, according to Cook County inmate records. He was ordered held without bail on Saturday.

Chicago Cubs' broadcaster Harry Caray sings "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at Chicago's Wrigley Field in 1989.

Why did Harry Caray always say ‘Holy Cow?’ It could be linked to a 1930s flying bovine. No bull!
In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
