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.
“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?”
To think like that requires that you develop certain skills like delayed gratification, considering consequences, etc. And you simply cannot just develop those skills at any time. If they are not well developed by a certain stage of childhood, you will never acquire them for the rest of your life.
This, or crickets? Tough choice.
Now that’s brotherly love
Gravy is really important!!!
But if it wasn’t over milk gravy then that’s just stupid.
People in S.Philly call Tomatoe Sauce Gravy.
I didn’t even know that canned gravy was a thing. Sounds gross to me. I make my own sausage gravy and biscuits.
A meal fit for a king!
Option 1. Sell everything from behind bulletproof glass. The customer hands you a list along with payment. You get the merchandise, and hand it to the customer.
They’re screwed. Philly made those bulletproof barriers illegal.
