South Philly gunstore owner guarding shop overnight shoots, kills armed looter: report
What else did you expect to happen?
A 67-year-old South Philadelphia gun store owner shot and killed a man he said was looting his business for what he suspects is the second night in a row.
Greg Isabella, who owns the Firing Line Inc, one of the oldest gun shops in the city, said he saw a group of looters on his surveillance video breaking a padlock on his gate using bolt cutters and descending on his shop in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The incident occurred just after 4 a.m. when Isabella then confronted the thieves, and one — in a group of what he says consisted of 3 or 4 people– pointed a gun at him, according to reports by Fox affiliate WTFX.
Isabella fatally shot the gun-wielding robber using an AR-15 and the alleged thief died on the scene, reports say.
The owner suspects that on the previous night, looters attempted to break in through a back door of the shop, ramming and beating at a steel door that showed signs of battering, and even marks that a crowbar was used to pry it open — to no avail.
A bunch of looters wanted the score of a lifetime, a shit load of guns and ammo.
They tested the gun store’s security the first night – which passed by the way.
So they came back better equipped to do the job right.
Instead all they scored was incoming rifle fire. One even won the grand prize of a body bag.
Gun store owners tend to believe in the Second Amendment and are aware how their retail items are often targeted by thieves.
Here’s a hint for wannabe looters: don’t rob gun stores. It will end up badly for you. The local vegan food mart with the Prius with the Moms Demand Acton bumper sticker parked out back is a much softer target.
