Pennsylvania Self-Defense: Barber Shoots Man in North Philadelphia Barbershop, Police Say :: 11/13/2018

A barbershop owner shot an alleged attacker inside his North Philadelphia Philadelphia barbershop Monday morning, Philadelphia police said.

The shooting left the man in stable condition with gunshot wounds to the stomach and groin.

The sign outside says Jackson Hewitt tax service but people in the neighborhood say a barbershop has been operating inside, NBC10’s Brandon Hudson reported.
