Gun Shop Owner Killed With His Own Gun
The Indiana County, Pennsylvania gun shop owner was shot and killed New Year’s Eve with his own gun.
A surveillance camera at Frank’s Gun & Taxidermy Shop on Hogue Drive in Tunnelton, just outside Saltsburg, recorded the shooting at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Authorities said the video showed Jack Edmundson Jr., 43, shooting 62-year-old Frank Petro (pictured) four times inside the shop using Petro’s gun…
Police said surveillance video showed Edmundson walk inside the store, take a pistol from the display case and point it at Petro as he returned from a back room. They said he shot Petro twice, and Petro fell to the ground.
“What it appears is Mr. Edmundson took Mr. Petro’s weapon from behind the counter and that was the weapon that was used, we believe,” said Dougherty.
