A woman pulled out a gun and tried to shoot a security guard while the man she was with shot a manager in the face following a dispute over a can of gravy inside a Philadelphia store, police said.
The ordeal began on February 19 shortly before 6:30 p.m. inside a Save A Lot store on 6301 Chew Avenue.
Investigators said a man and a woman began arguing with a store manager because the business did not have a can of gravy that they wanted. As the argument continued, the manager asked for help from the store’s security guard.
The woman then allegedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the guard. Police said the guard disarmed the woman and disabled the weapon. The guard and manager then tried to escort both the man and woman outside the store and a struggle ensued, police said.
The man then pulled out his own weapon and pointed it at the security guard, police said. The guard and manager were then able to force the man and woman out of the store, according to investigators.
Police said the man then demanded that the security guard give the woman’s gun back to her. The guard then gave the woman back her weapon which he had disabled, according to investigators.
The man and woman then went back into the store and the man pulled out a 9mm semiautomatic handgun, aimed at the manager and opened fire, police said. The manager was shot at point blank range in the face and the man and woman fled on foot towards the Awbury Park Apartments across the street, investigators said.
Canned gravy? Yummy.

Who else shoots someone over a can of gravy?
Not to mention the on-going debate over "sauce or gravy?" in South PHL
Gravy from a can? That’s just wrong...
Well, there’s your problem....
Seems to me that if you have to take a weapon away from someone, then it's yours. The guard should have told her to call a cop.
The little packs are cute, but if you can’t make your own, you’re useless. 2 and 2 and 2 for white. Then you go from there: redeye (coffee based and brown and giblet) easy.
That must have been some gravy."
Ron DeSantis would.

Prayers for the poor man who was shot; he is in critical condition.
You cannot have civilization and plenty without some degree of forbearance and imagination.
Why is it not in people like this to ask, will I really care about this can of gravy, or this perceived slight, tomorrow or next week, or next year?
Do they expect to kill someone and not care about it next year? Maybe, if the murders solved rate is low, or the conviction rate is low, or the progressive prosecutor is willing to look the other way, maybe they won’t be in prison, and they won’t have to care.
That looks like a fine last meal for a condemned prisoner.

It’s so true.
Sorry for 5he double post.
Maybe I can see a shooting over like legit real gravy in a restaurant... but over a crappy can of fake gravy???
Not worth it, man.
