14 year old shoots robber whos choking his Mother

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The 14-year-old son of a Philadelphia pizza shop employee shot an armed robbery suspect who started choking one of his parents, police say.

Police say the series of incidents unfolded around 9:30 p.m. Thursday when three men robbed the CVS pharmacy at North Broad and Spring Garden in the Spring Garden section of the city.

Moments later, police say at least one of those men went a block away to rob the Bold Pizza Shop at 15th and Spring Garden.

Employees say the man forcibly reached over the counter and tried to take cash from the register.

A struggle ensued between an employee and the robbery suspect when the offender started to strangle the victim.

The victim's 14-year-old son grabbed a handgun from under the counter and shot the offender one time in the face, police said.

"There was money on the floor and there was also some broken glass inside the store, and there was also a large amount of blood," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.

The pizza shop was closed on Friday.

Some people who live nearby said they understand the teen was just trying to protect his parent.

"I think most people would do that in that situation to protect someone they love and they're being threatened so violently," said Nina Adams.

"I am very proud and its kind of sad that a 14-year-old had to shoot the suspect, but it was quick thinking and I'm glad they were able to catch the person so fast," said Raina Harris.

Investigators say they followed a trail of blood down the stairs of a SEPTA subway station at Broad and Spring Garden.

Police say that's where they found the 33-year-old male suspect.

"From following the trail of blood, we also found some cash in the subway where the victim was found," Small said.




"Blessed is he who when facing his own demise, thinks only of his front sight.”

Shouldn’t that last line read “….we’re the suspect was found,”

No Sh*t. That's some top reporting right there. Journalism at its finest.

but they lost me here..... The victim is the parent who was being choked, right???? That's what was said earlier in the same article.

I don't get it, was the victim who was being choked dragged along the way to the subway. That's what it says.

what screwed up writing.

And another happy story.

Foxnews.com: Washington man fatally shoots suspected home burglar: ‘I have the right to protect myself' Residents in the area said the neighborhood has seen an increase in crime

A Washington state man shot and killed a suspected burglar and opened fire on another inside his home early Thursday, saying "I have a right to defend myself."

Jerahme Smith, 31, told Fox affiliate KCPQ-TV in Seattle that he was in his Spanaway home with his sister when two men kicked in a back door. One of them had a weapon, prompting Smith to open fire in self-defense, he said.

"When everything first started, the first thing I had to do was take a few breaths and calm myself down because I knew it could have gone one of two ways," he told the news outlet. "I didn’t know who they were, I didn’t know what they had, but the first thing I did--and it’s the honest to God truth--is I took a few breaths to myself. That way I knew I was calm enough to make a proper judgment decision."

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department said they received a call about a home invasion just before 4:30 a.m. from a homeowner who said he shot at intruders. When deputies arrived, they found an unresponsive suspect, identified as a 24-year-old man.

No further information about him has been released. Fox News has reached out to authorities.

He was declared dead by medics who arrived a short time later. Authorities are still searching for the second suspect. Smith has not been arrested, authorities said.

"The detectives will finish the investigation and forward the case to the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office for review," the sheriff's department said in a statement.

Smith said he and his wife and three children were living in the rented home for three years. He maintains he acted in self-defense.

"It kind of goes back to your rights. I have the right to carry and I have the right to protect myself and I have the right to protect my property," he said. "Protect yourself. That doesn’t mean go looking for it, that means just be ready."

Nearby residents told the news outlet the area has seen an increase in crime.

"If it ain’t one thing it’s another," said one man, who declined to give his name. "That kind of upsets me that we have this kind of crime going on in the neighborhood. It’s not a good feeling because we don’t know—it could be something happening tomorrow, tonight, you know? Same old thing."

I heard about this this morning listening to Philadelphia local talk radio. The guy had just come from robbing another store, a pharmacy. Then he pushed his luck and went for the pizza shop. Criminals should stick with the bigger chain stores. Cause when you start fucking with mom and pop shops, you just might get shot in the face.

14 year olds being forced to shoot criminals in the face. This is the legacy of that piece of shit Larry Krasner.

Thanks. The typo stems from my phone "fixing" it for me.

If the need arose and the opportunity was there to do so, we were always encouraged to go for a face shot - to be precise, if you could, in the eyeball.

Any eyeball will do.

It was a direct quote. That's likely the way the detective stated it. You'll have to take it up with him.

Actually no. The OP didn't paste in the entire article. Apparently the skel didn't croak. Below is the tail end of the article...

quote:

The suspect was rushed to an area hospital where he was placed in critical condition.

According to police, surveillance video from the pharmacy matched the description of the injured suspect. Police are still looking for two suspects in connection with that crime.

The man who was shot has not been identified. No other injuries were reported.

Yeah, Greek folks, too. However, if you were to bet on a large number of pizza shop owners, you would likely win more money than you would lose, if you bet on Italian.
