Pennsylvania Self-Defense: Customer Shoots Two Robbers In Pizza Shop :: 11/16/2016
A customer inside Porfirio’s II Pizza in the Skyline Shopping Center in Levittown shot two alleged robbers Tuesday night.
Joseph Bartorilla, chief of police for Middletown, said that one of the robbery suspects was dead and laying on the floor of the pizza shop at the corner of Veterans Highway (Route 413) and Trenton Road while another was in serious condition and being transferred from St. Mary Medical Center to a Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.
Two employees were inside Porfirio’s II Pizza and the customer was standing inside when the two robbers, both of whom were armed with handguns, entered the shop around 10 p.m., police said.
“The two male robbers apparently told the employees and the customer to get on the ground. They began pistol-whipping the customer. At that point, the customer produced a handgun and shot both of the robbers,” Bartorilla told reporters just before midnight Tuesday.
The deceased robber was shot in the chest and the seriously injured robber was shot in the shoulder and the neck, the chief said.
The customer who shot the robbers with a Glock handgun was not seriously hurt, Bartorilla said, adding the man was speaking with detectives.
The case is expected to be reviewed by the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, but Bartorilla said the initial overview of the case shows the shooting was in self-defense.
Detectives were working the scene and attempting to collect surveillance video to see if it showed the shooting. The Bucks County Coroner’s Office was also on scene and expected to remove the dead robber’s body early Wednesday morning.
Bartorilla said the two robbers were local residents.
Investigators were looking into the customer but his gun permit appeared to check out authorities said.
