Disturbing surveillance video shows a 14-year-old Philadelphia boy pulling out a gun and shooting a robber in the face to stop him from ransacking the cash register at his family's pizzeria.
The violent incident took place around 9.30pm on December 9 at Bold Pizza on Spring Garden Street, just a few blocks away from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
According to the police, the 33-year-old suspect walked into the pizza shop just minutes after taking part in another robbery targeting a CVS pharmacy a block away.
Armed robberies have skyrocketed by more than 40 percent in the City of Brotherly Love, with 2,213 incidents as of December 13, compared with 1,566 through the same period in 2020.
Video recorded by a surveillance camera inside Bold Pizza shows the masked bandit standing at the counter, then reaching over when a clerk opens the cash register.
The pizzeria employee puts up a fight and a struggle ensues, with the robber pulling the cash register toward him to get his hands on the money inside.
At that moment, the owner's 14-year-old son, who could be seen standing behind the counter, reaches for a gun, momentarily fumbles with it, then aims it at the intruder and pulls the trigger, striking him at least once in the face at a close range.
Police said the wounded robber fled the scene on foot, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

Pizza-face.
I’m impressed he walked it off for 3 blocks until he collapsed.
Wondering if he’d be charged having a gun without a permit or something and the shop owner not having a secured gun. Liberal stupidity will out.
This is going to piss the leftest gender makers off. The perp is one of their boys.
Black on black. Story goes away. Doesnt fit the narrative.
The only problem I had was the kid needed a better angle to avoid hitting the woman behind the perp. Luckily, she was not hit
Otherwise, well-done.
In the absence of government or law enforcement, the people should be free to deal with situations.
“Disturbing surveillance video”
How about “stand up and cheer” video instead?
Loved how the money falls from his grasp.
The video has a warning about disturbing content. What was disturbing? I love happy endings.
Now? Is a burglar a victim? I think not. But that is how the media portrays it.
“momentarily fumbles with it” - He’s racking the slide.
Truly a pizza face...GRAPHIC WARNING...

The kid didn’t hesitate for a second.
Was the suspect vaccinated?
If not, back of the line.
Amazing! I thought he was dead on the spot.
I luv good gun control!! - The kid’s a hero.
Next time double-tap.
It was a comedy. I had a good laugh.
