Gun Range Owner Shoots, Kills Suspected Burglar In South Philadelphia

According to CBS Philly

A South Philly gun range owner shot and killed a suspected burglar inside his business early Tuesday morning. It happened around 4:15 a.m. at Firing Line, Inc., at 1532 S. Front St. in Pennsport.

Philadelphia Police say a group of three or four men used bolt cutters to cut the lock to the gate and force open the door. They made their way to the second floor, where the 67-year-old owner was armed and waiting, after seeing the men on his surveillance camera.

“One of the males pointed a gun at the owner, and that’s when the owner of the gun shop, who was in possession of one of his guns, fired several shots, striking the one male at least one time in the head,” Small said.
