NEWSDid the barber survive?
Ehhhhhhh…… I’m not gonna necessarily disagree, but in todays world, one can catch a round for just about anything. The level of killing in our country has reached levels I have never seen in my 60 years of life. Used to be people got shot for breaking into someone’s house or banging someone’s wife. Today, we gots peoples bustin caps on peoples because they flipped em off while drivin.If somebody is doing a hit job on you, you are probably a POS anyway. My guess, we lost two upstanding gentlemen that day.
In Bal'mer? They'd start by locking you up."Police Commissioner Michael Harrison hailed the cop’s action saying he responded, “with great bravery [and] produced his firearm,” putting an end to more violence at the scene."
In Baltimore do you have the privilege to carry?
What are the odds of you having the police commissioner make a statement like ^^^^^ if you did the same thing? What are the odds of them saying something like.... We are investigating to see if charges are needed?
Followed by.... We don't recommend that you engage armed criminals.
The place is prolly a front for some shady shitBarber probably stopped or was behind on his ‘insurance’ payments…or overheard something he shouldn’t have in his shop, and was threatening to go to the po-po.
Or he was another dirt bag drug dealer on the side and they didn’t want any competition.
50:50 odds.
Best reaction everHow about the dude under the towel in the bottom right corner? Does not even move....very chill, or frozen by fear....!?
Baltimore! Wow, never would’ve guessed.NEWS

A graphic scene unfolded in East Baltimore last week when a man shot his 33-year-old barber and moments later, he was shot by an off-duty cop who happened to be in the barber’s chair getting a haircut, CBS reports.
The officer, who has not been named, is being hailed as a hero for springing into action and shooting a suspect as he was sitting in a chair at Bladi Style in the Medford neighborhood getting a haircut by barber Rafael Jeffers.
The gunman, 38-year-old Carlos Ortega walked in and fired off shots killing the barbershop owner Jeffers as the off-duty cop watched. After Ortega waved his gun to alert the cop to move from his seat, seemingly so he could shoot Jeffers as he lay motionless on the floor, that’s when the cop pulled his weapon and fired off a series of shots.

Once the cop was positioned behind Ortega, he took him down with gunfire, killing him.
“I was shocked,” said Jerry Kempa of Baltimore. “I think it was great that the police officer was in there, because if he wasn’t in there how many more people he would’ve shot?”
Police Commissioner Michael Harrison hailed the cop’s action saying he responded, “with great bravery [and] produced his firearm,” putting an end to more violence at the scene.
“Our hearts go out to the victims and their families who lost their lives very unnecessarily,” Police Commissioner Harrison said. “And this is what we’ve been talking about for so long, conflict and people solving their conflict with violence mainly gun violence.”
Jeffers reportedly owned the business and was from the Dominican Republic.
Police say last week Ortega went to three different locations and shot three victims, two of them, including Jeffers and 44-year-old Javier Villegas Cotto died. Cotto was shot dead in the 4600 block of Eastern Ave., near Greektown, according to reports.
