A Harlem restaurant-supply store owner unleashed a round of shotgun blasts on a gang of four robbers Thursday afternoon, killing two of them, police said.

The shooting happened at about 3:10 p.m. at The Kaplan Brothers’ Blue Flame, at 523 West 125th Street, near Amsterdam Avenue, according to cops.

One man died at the scene and the another died at St. Luke’s Hospital.

Residents said they were surprised at the robbery the store is not known as a cash business.

Detectives are still investigating.

My only regret is he didn’t kill all 4

[Spok]

If the store owner is white, they’ll burn Harlem to the ground.

[La Lydia]

Did he at least wing the other two?

[DTogo]

The store owner should be arrested for thinking he has a right to keep and bear arms.

What a nutjob. Probably a racist (or an Uncle Tom) too.

A highly-trafficked area, btw. It isn’t like this happenned near the rivers or on some forelorn sidestreet. 125th and Amsterdam is usually packed with shoppers and other pedestrians during the day.

The <75 IQ street thugs robbing the place probably didn't know that either.

I’m guessing Korean. It was the Koreans who stood outside of their stores during the LA Riots with pistols to protect them. But I’m also going to guess that in NYC the shotgun is illegal.

How long before we hear from the Reverand Al Sharpton?

Though if the Kaplans still own it, probably Jewish, which means Reverend Al will be on the scene faster than if someone shouted “free hamburgers”.

Bloomberg needs to organize an anti-gun protest and shut this guy down.

Dang!

“The <75 IQ street thugs robbing the place probably didn’t know that either”

LOL!

[MES401067]

So all cash stores are in danger?Maybe next time they will check before they rob someone that has a shot gun.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I hope the owner was black.

[stephenjohnbanker]
