Cops: Man arrested for shooting at pedestrians, police near South Street
POSTED: Sunday, June 2, 2013, 11:53 AM
A Fern Rock man was arrested early Sunday for allegedly shooting at a group of people on South Street and then firing at police.

The shooting happened around 1:45 a.m. on South Street near 6th. Police said a man approached three people and began flirting with one of the women in the group. After the woman rebuked his advances, an argument ensued, at which point the man grabbed the woman and flashed a gun he had tucked in his waistband and threatened the group, police said.

According to police, the man walked away, crossed South Street, pulled out the gun and fired once at the group, striking a parked car. As the group ran for cover, officers in the area saw the commotion and ran towards the scene. A sergeant and an officer chased after the alleged gunman as he fled towards 7th and Kater streets. During the pursuit, police said, the gunman fired at the officers.

Other officers in the area responded and police apprehended the man without further incident. Police said they recovered a .32 caliber semi-automatic handgun still loaded with one round.

Yep, everybody gets a gun. That way, if some gal says " no thank you" you get to abduct her and shoot at her companions and police. Given our recent propensity here in Philly for the police SHOOTING PEOPLE DEAD, this guy is more than fortunate to be alive.
