They get him before he made off with the cat converter?

No word of how he was able to steal it. That's funny. Is it possible a cop left it running? Isn't that a crime in Philthy?

I'm not sure if Philly cops carry a long gun in their cars while on duty, but if so and the car was stolen as you suggest, will the cop lose his right to carry a firearm like a 'regular' person?

I never shot in a situation like that. Just wondering, would you have to lead a lot? I guess it depends on the speed of both cars.

no, both cars are moving at the same speed, and so are your buckshot pellets,
aim point on, no lead

Meanwhile, meet Scott Thomas

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA * A Philadelphia man has been charged in connection with the road rage shooting of a truck driver Wednesday morning, according to Abington Township Police.

Police said Scott Thomas, 21, of Philadelphia, is charged with aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime, and more after authorities said he shot a Pepsi truck driver at about 8:20 a.m. at 1575 The Fairway in the Jenkintown section of Abington.

Police were called to the area in the morning for a report of a road rage incident with shots fired.

Authorities found the victim, who said a white van pulled in front of him and stopped abruptly, suffering from a bullet graze wound.

Police said the van's driver, later identified as Thomas, got out of the van and approached the Pepsi truck.

At some point, Thomas pulled a gun out, police said.

Thomas and the truck driver struggled, and the driver was struck in the head with the gun, police said.

Police said after he was struck, the gun went off, grazing the driver's hip.

That's when police allege Thomas drove off in the white van, but was stopped by police on Rodman Avenue near Old York Road at about 10 a.m.
