Looter Dead After Allegedly Breaking into Gun Store, Getting Shot by Owner
A looter who allegedly broke into a Philadelphia gun store overnight was pronounced dead at the scene after the store owner shot him in the head just after 4 a.m. Fox 5 reports a “crew of looters reportedly attempted to break in,” but the store owner was ready for them. 6 ABC reports the owner had his business, the Firing Line Gun Range and Gun Store, staked out because of another attempted burglary and he was watching surveillance cameras when he saw “three or four men use wire cutters to break through the gate and enter the store.”
The group then smashed in the back door and broke glass, police said. When they made it upstairs the 67-year-old owner started shooting his Bushmaster M-4 rifle, striking shot one man in the head, police said
That man -- who was in his 20s -- died in the store, police said. The other men ran off. Police found a handgun by the dead man that the owner said does not belong to his shop. Investigators believe the burglars brought that with them.
