Wow. Unbelievable. Good to hear he is in stable condition but still, wow. I hope we get the name soon of both the victim and shooter. One to know who to send prayers out to and secondly to know allow everyone to know who to avoid!
 
I know who the victim is but I would like to find out who the criminal is that was crazy enough to pull a stunt like this and think they would get away with it.

Agreed. At least there is a brief description on the suspect so people can be suspicious about face to face trades/deals.

Wonder if this should be a BOI as a warning? This is pretty serious considering he still on the loose and didnt get away with the 20 BP's.

Send my thoughts to the victim and if he needs anything let the community know I'm sure we all would help!
 
just FYi - the update to that story that was posted on the original thread about this

UPDATE: Police say the gunman stole the snake dealer's Toyota Rav 4 with the snakes in it and crashed it into a pole. That's why he had to flee on foot. Cops are fairly certain that he is the guy who was supposed to buy the snakes, but they cannot be sure. Apparently, the shooter didn't identify himself to the Doylestown man, so there is a slim possibility that this was just a random carjacking that happened before the prearranged snake deal.

So if you were supposed to buy 20 pythons in a parking lot today but the guy wasn't there, call Ridley police and help them solve this shooting
 
This is horrible.... Some people... :/

This is why unless I know the person, I never give my address, I meet in a more busier place, like a gas station. I never go alone. I generally always bring my dog. Who as cute and fluffy as she is. Is one of the best guard dogs ever.

Yea a grocery parking lot might have been okay, but I would have rather have waiting by the entrance than somewhere in the parking lot.


Whether it was the guy that was suppose to buy the snakes or some random thing.... Always good to take extra precautions. (Might explain why the car was crashed, guy prolly saw or heard the snakes and freaked)

Hope the guy recovers well. Give him our well wishes if you are able to.
 
I hope Mark is OK...
I'll bet money is was a random car jacking...1) He didnt walk their from NY 2) if he drove there would have been a second vehicle 3) no one is going to go through the trouble of meeting someone and shooting them for 12k in snakes and have the intentions of taking them without actually taking them....4) Mark would have info on him...name..what are you driving, email address, phone number to confirm meeting....
I hope I am right...if not it makes you think twice about making arrangements to meet someone...

I hope he has a speedy recovery.
