“[The pharmacy owner] has a good camera system, so he actually saw the subject come into the store with the shotgun,” Falls Township Police Lt. Henry Ward told 6ABC. “He was prepared for the armed intruder.”
Zip ties were found by the masked dead man, indicating that he intended to tie up the pharmacy’s staff during the robbery, 6ABC added.His accomplice in a minivan backed up to the building waited outside, unaware of the shooting.
