A customer who walked into a robbery happening at a Philadelphia takeout restaurant shot and killed the armed suspect and will likely not face charges, authorities said.

Police said three employees were inside the Wingstop in northeast Philadelphia Sunday when a 53-year-old man walked in wearing a mask and gloves around 10:30 p.m. The suspect allegedly pointed a gun at them and demanded the employees hand over the money from the cash register drawer.

Investigators said thats when a customer, identified by police only as a man in his late 20s, walked in talking on the phone, likely not noticing a robbery was taking place, WPVI reported. The customer pulled his own gun and fired one shot at the perpetrator, striking him in the neck, said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

The incident remains under investigation and police are reviewing surveillance video.

The customer remained at the scene and was cooperating with authorities. He is not expected to face criminal charges.

The customer who was also a victim because he had the gun pointed at him remained on scene, did cooperate with police, Small said, according to KYW-TV. We do have his weapon we know that just one shot was fired from that customer.

Don't point a firearm at another person without intent to use it. No one knows what he would have done to the person he was robbing. Don't threaten a person's life with a firearm if you aren't prepared to face the consequences.

Does this fall under "Good Samaritan" laws?

This is one of the few occasions you hear where having the right to bear arms has helped; and I'm truly glad for it. Most people that make that argument cant reference a single time it's happened, so this will be a nice example for the future.

Thing is if he hit center mass the dude just lives and might shoot the hostage. He was probably trying to hit the head lol.

Any gun instructor worth their salt says to never aim for the head. Now if it was practically point blank range sure I guess. But taking a torso shot that wasnt expected I assume would generally make them recoil or drop allowing you another center mass shot to finish the job if the first didnt do it.

this is what the roibber wanted. he planned that robbery and took the appropriate actions to get himself killed. if he didnt want this, which he clearly did, he wouldn't have done what he did that night.

Even if you believe it's a crime, it's not murder by virtue of self-defense

This is called Imperfect Self-Defense in the legal systen

It would be manslaughter or negligent homicide

He probably was aiming center mass and got a flyer.

Stress and less than ideal conditions make any kind of shot landing a guessing game.

I sure hope so...

If you have a starving family and you lost your job, you do this in this order if the above one fails:

Look for another job

Look even harder for another job

Try one last time for a job

Look for a local food pantry

Look for gov handouts including food

Go pick some food from a big farmer's field, he probably won't notice

rob the grocery store, plead starving if caught

You can do all of these before you even think about putting a gun to somebody. You threaten someone's life, they have the right to take yours. Bystanders do too. That's the #1 instinct in the wilderness and seeing as we are just wild animals with a overly developed brain, it applies to us as well without consequence.
