A man was shot and killed in an incident that happened at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Northeast Philadelphia on Thursday morning, police said. <\/p>\n
According to law enforcement officials, a man — who police have not yet provided further identifying information on — was shot in the head and killed in an incident that happened at a 7-Eleven near the intersection of Torresdale Avenue and Disston Street at about 7:20 a.m. on Thursday. <\/p>\n
Chris Mullins, who claimed he witnessed the incident, told NBC10’s crew at the scene, the shooting happened as the result of a fight between two men.<\/p>\n
“A guy opened the door coming out and they started yelling and screaming, I turn around and looked back in and they started fighting. Then, one thing led to another,” Mullins told NBC10. “And, he shot him in the back of the store.” <\/p>\n
He said a woman who, Mullins believed, was the victim’s girlfriend, told him the fight began after she was touched inappropriately. <\/p>\n
“The guy, apparently, touched her where he shouldn’t have touched her and that started all this,” he claimed. <\/p>\n
Mullins said, after the shooting, the shooter walked calmly from the scene. <\/p>\n
“As he walked out of the store, he was putting the gun in his waistband,” said Mullins. “He walked out of there like nothing happened.”<\/p>\n
Officials have not yet provided further information on what led to this incident, nor have they provided any further information on the suspected gunman in this shooting.<\/p>\n
But, police said that an investigation into this incident is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was shot and killed in an incident that happened at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Northeast…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":16317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,10324,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-16316","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-northeast-philadelphia","10":"tag-pa","11":"tag-pennsylvania","12":"tag-philadelphia","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114749783863518494","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
