South Philly gunstore owner guarding shop overnight shoots, kills armed looter

A 67-year-old South Philadelphia gun store owner shot and killed a man he said was looting his business for what he suspects is the second night in a row.

Greg Isabella, who owns the Firing Line Inc, one of the oldest gun shops in the city, said he saw a group of looters on his surveillance video breaking a padlock on his gate using bolt cutters and descending on his shop in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The incident occurred just after 4 a.m. when Isabella then confronted the thieves, and one -- in a group of what he says consisted of 3 or 4 people-- pointed a gun at him, according to reports by Fox affiliate WTFX.

Isabella fatally shot the gun-wielding robber using an AR-15 and the alleged thief died on the scene, reports say. The owner likely injured a second suspect in the shoulder. The rest of the thieves fled, but a local hospital informed police that a man was being treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder, and police suspect he may have been involved in the botched heist.

The owner suspects that on the previous night, looters attempted to break in through a back door of the shop, ramming and beating at a steel door that showed signs of battering, and even marks that a crowbar was used to pry it open -- to no avail.

He told local media on the scene on Tuesday morning he had "no comment."

Full investigation required. If this pans out, I support his actions.

You point a gun at me, and I am armed, I am not asking questions...I am not warning...I am shooting. And daddy taught me NEVER point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them...and NEVER shoot someone unless you intend to kill them.

Period.

OK then. A few of those and the point might get across that looting should not be part of protests..

These "Biden Rioters/Looters" are not doing this for the Floyd family nor for any just cause. If it's systemic racism, you say then what is the system is this that they are in?

An overwhelming majority of black voters — 85 percent — said in a new Hill-HarrisX poll that they would choose any Democratic presidential candidate over President Trump.
