Philadelphia would-be carjacker shot at by licensed gun owner while attempting to steal car: police

Bradford Betz
An attempted carjacking in Philadelphia was thwarted by a licensed gun owner who fired back at the would-be thief, police said.

The confrontation occurred just after 11 p.m. Saturday in the 1800 block of Mascher Street. 26th District Officers responded to a person with a gun report of a shooting.

Upon arrival, officers met two men, ages 26 and 29, who said a Black male of a thin build wearing a black ski mask and all-black clothing opened a car door and pointed a gun at them.

One of the men retrieved his gun and fired three shots at the offender. The offender fled the scene southbound on Mascher Street.

Police later found a male – 17 years of age – on the highway at 1700 Frankford Ave., suffering from gunshot wounds on his shoulder and chest.

Really poor victim selection skills. Think he learned anything from this? Yeah, me neither.

Man firing AR-15-style rifle inside Target fatally shot by responding officers: Police
The man had “plenty of ammunition,” the Omaha police chief said.

A man armed with an AR-15-style rifle was shot and killed by police after opening fire in a Target store in Nebraska, authorities said.

No injuries were reported among employees and shoppers at the Omaha store, police said.

Law enforcement officers responded to multiple reports of an active shooter at the west Omaha Target around noon local time on Tuesday, the Omaha Police Department said.

“The first arriving officers went into the building, confronted the suspect and shot him dead,” Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer told reporters during a press briefing Tuesday.

Where did he think he was, Walmart? Glad the LEOs were able to stop the threat so quickly. Links today courtesy of our own David.

Both of ’em FAFO.
One terminally.
Where did he think he was?
INSIDE the shoot-’em-up arcade game?
Maybe inside a version of GTA?
Well, not my circus, not my monkeys, not my problem any more.

Not only poor victim selection skilz, but also, poor career choices. Wonder if Al will leave Memphis and show up in Philly?

Looks like kid succeeded in his suicide by cop plan.

Our enemies, foreign and domestic, are laffing their asses off at prezzy sniffy.

Not sure why I’m drawn to those bull pups. Is it ’cause I don’t have one…or it reminds me of the 40 watt plasma rifle…or that it would go smashingly nice with my old school trenchcoat? Maybe it reminds me of myself…compact, dangerous, and so fugly it’s cute?

Ummm…..maybe.
Add, “needs to be continually lubricated in order to keep working”. THEN that would be an accurate description.

IIRC – Target defends itself with those “No Guns” signs while allowing men to follow little girls into the “Lady’s” rooms…

Whoa…it’s a good thing the cops killed him; otherwise he’d have been in some serious trouble for bringing a gun into that store!

Corporate policy is a voluntary request not to open carry. They used to allow open carry and then a small number of people were stupid about it.

“A man armed with an AR-15-style rifle was shot and killed by police after opening fire in a Target store in Nebraska, authorities said.”

That one sounds like suicide by cop to me. He went in to a department store with a rifle and opened fire but didn’t hit a single customer or employee? Either he’s the worst shot in all the world, or he wasn’t trying to hit anyone.

Doesn’t make it a bad shoot, just an observation.
