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.
The guard disarmed the woman and then gave the gun back to her!!!! Why not verify it was indeed her "lawful" gun before giving it back? Chances are good (99.9999%) it was an illegal possession.
It’s the Philly way....
The city of Brotherly Shove
Failure to adjust to civilized society.
Tough crowd.
Good thing it wasn’t an argument over cheesesteak...
6300 block of Chew......Just don’t go there.
Did Kamala Harris write and editor this jewel of media salad. Very very Savage City.

Well, I hope the can of gravy thing was resolved.
Another food desert in the making.
And then they will wonder why.
They create their own stereotypes.
There aren’t guards in any of the stores in my neck of the woods... I wonder why?
Bloody animals.
Gravy
On my mashed potatoes, give me
Gravy
Do I NEED to look or is the race-AMISH?
I was assuming Quebecois.
Poutine is serious business.
As I see it, store owners in places like that have two choices.
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.
Option 2. Get out of Dodge while you still can.
And as a side note, I feel for the merchants who have to put up with all the thefts and all the violence. But I also feel for the many good folks in those areas who end up living in food deserts. Perhaps they should consider voting Republican for a change.
I regularly watch CharlieBo313’s videos on YouTube. Very eye-opening.
One thing I notice in these hoods, is how nice the cars are.
