The son of a pizza-shop owner in Philadelphia, Pa., shot two alleged robbers at the store late at night on Nov. 4, 2023.
At 8 p.m., the two suspects entered the pizza shop, armed with guns, and allegedly attempted to rob the store. A witness at the scene told ABC 6 News that the shop owner's son said "he had to shoot [the robber] because the guy was shooting at him. Said he had to shoot back [in] self-defense."
The employee exchanged gunfire with the two armed thieves, hitting one multiple times in the head and upper body and killing him. The other suspect fled on foot. Police are reviewing outdoor security cameras and are attempting to locate the other suspect. (ABC 6; Philadelphia, Pa.; 11/4/23)
