Shoot Out On Delaware

Around 1:30 on Thursday, January 31, on a quiet Lakewood street, Delaware, something happened that you never see on Lakewood streets: a shoot out.

It seems that a man was trying to sell four black youths guns out of a duffel bag as they drove around in a silver Chevy. The seller apparently got into the car to make the sale. One of the teens pulled a gun on him, they threw him out of the car and took off. He then got to his feet, grabbed his own gun, and chased after the car, shooting at it as it headed east.

Two of the youths jumped out of the car, and ran east with the duffel bag of guns through backyards to Brown, then split up. One was described as wearing a red hoodie, the other in a gray hoodie with khaki pants.

Police spent the rest of the afternoon trying to track down the teens and get the story from the man who was selling the guns.

The man was a licensed gun-owner, and as of when we went to press, no charges had been filed.
