CT: Bridgeport Crown Fried Chicken Owner in Third Gunfight; Passerby assists
Screenshot from March 26th Robbery attempt.
The Bridgeport owner of Crown Fried Chicken is no stranger to gunfights. The previous robbery attempt occurred on March 26th, 2016. Some of it was caught on video. No gunfire was exchanged in that confrontation.
This is the third gunfight that Mohammed Yasir has been involved in in the store. This time a bullet from his pistol went into the ceiling, and a passerby outside the store also engaged the robbery crew. No one appears to have been hit. On two previous occasions, Mohammed shot his assailant. The latest gunfight happened on April 20th, 2016. From abc7ny.com:
A bullet hole was left in the ceiling from the shot Yasir fired.A resident carrying a licensed firearm confronted the suspects outside. They exchanged fire, shattering the store's window.
“It's crazy. It's my first time ever witnessing this!”, said eyewitness Ayana Junes.
Junes says she was heading to the store when she saw the suspects fleeing.
“They were running right down there and then I saw a guy running over here and he had a gun in his hand and I heard pow pow and then I ran back home,” she said.
It happened on Beechmont Avenue just before 9 p.m. Wednesday. Yasir is no stranger to violence, robbed 8 times in 25 years.
The last time he was held up was just four weeks ago.
“I know they came to rob me, they came to shoot me or whatever but always you for to protect yourself. I got family to feed,” Yasir said.
It is worth noting that Yasir has been robbed 8 times in 25 years. What is amazing is that he never ended up in the hospital.
