A man who stopped for takeout late Sunday night in Philadelphia thwarted a robbery, police said.
Police told the Daily Caller they received an emergency call for a robbery-shooting inside Wingstop in the 2100 block Cottman Avenue around 10:15 p.m., where an unidentified 53-year-old male was robbing the store at gunpoint.
“[He] walked in, went behind the counter, announced a robbery and asked for all the money,” Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector Scott Small told WPVI.
However, before employees could hand over the cash, an unidentified 27-year-old entered the store, according to police. The man was unaware that he walked into a robbery and was reportedly talking on his cell phone, according to WPVI.
“That’s when the robber pointed a gun at that customer and demanded his cell phone,” Small told WPVI.
The customer then pulled out his legally owned firearm and shot the suspect, hitting him in the neck. The suspect was pronounced dead on the scene by paramedics around 10:30 p.m., according to police.
The customer has complied with the investigation, which is still ongoing, and is not expected to face any charges, according to WPVI.
“The customer, who was also a victim because he had the gun pointed at him, remained on the scene, did cooperate with police,” Small said, according to KYW-TV. “We do have his weapon. We know that just one shot was fired from that customer.”
All the available information is irrelevant.
The only thing we need to know is were the robber and the shooter both BLACK?
If they were both BLACK, the shooter will walk.
If the robber was BLACK and the shooter was WHITE, the shooter will HANG.
Because: RACISM!!!!
“POLICE: Would-be robber shot by customer at Wing Stop...”
Should rename restaurant to “Wong Stop”.
The bullet just necked him.
Is that like racing title for title?

Irv Homer kinda people.
Northeast Philly is different. Entirely different.
One likes that idea.
Why would police take the weapon? Is there some reason to think that there is probable cause that it was somehow involved in a crime?
Sounds like a interesting place.
SOP
What kind of idiot robs a Wingstop? Isn’t that Pizza Hut?
How much cash would they have?
Don’t get between a man and his hot wings. Just sayin’ . . .
Northeast Philly, while it has diversified somewhat over the past two decades is in many ways the Staten Island of Philadelphia, albeit with fewer Italians.
The riff raff wasn't welcome unless it's changed. Which it would seem not to have as we see.
I left Chestnut Hill in 93. I liked the northeast.
Those neck shots really make a red sticky mess on the floor.
Well done!
Hope he got some free wings out of that deal.
53 years of stupid.
