First Responder's Don't Need Badges

Gunman Shot, Killed Inside West Philly Barbershop

The fight quickly escalated and the 40-year-old man took out his gun and opened fire on customers and barbers, police said...

As he was shooting, another man outside heard the gunfire, ran into the shop and took out his own gun, according to investigators. He then opened fire, striking the 40-year-old man once in the chest...

Police said there were children inside the shop at the time but no one else was hurt...

"The person who responded was a legal gun permit carrier," said Philadelphia Police Captain Frank Llewellyn. "He responded and I guess he saved a lot of people in there." 

That's the way it's supposed to work — and it does!
