At a petrol station in Philadelphia, gunfire broke out, resulting in the death of a man and the shooting of a security officer who had just recently become a father to a newborn kid.
At around seven o’clock on Tuesday evening, a guy who was armed and 39 years old entered the Phillips 66 gas station located on the 900 block of College Avenue in North Philadelphia. This horrifying event occurred.
As shown in a surveillance camera that caught the shooting, a private security officer who was thirty years old requested the man to leave, but the man pushed him back. Following that, the guy removes a firearm from his waistband.
The video captures a heated conversation that takes place just before an explosion of gunshots. A gunshot wound was taken to the leg of the security guard, who is the father of three children, one of whom is a baby. He was believed to be in a stable condition when he arrived at Temple University Hospital.
The guard expressed his concern for his own safety as well as the safety of those who were present in the business. He is authorized to carry a concealed weapon and works at the gas station for the private business of Pennsylvania S.I.T.E. State Agents.
At the hospital, the man, who was 39 years old, was found to have been shot in the face and legs, and he was pronounced dead. Investigators searched the crime scene, which comprised pavement that was smeared with blood and was located close to the door of the petrol station.
It was determined that the armed guy was the owner of the pistol that was recovered by the police. It is not known who else was present inside the business at the time the incident took place. Although a stray gunshot struck a house in the neighborhood, there were no additional casualties recorded.
The identity of the deceased individual has not been determined. If you have any information, please contact the detectives at the following number: 215-686-TIPS.
