Security guards at a South Philadelphia strip club shot a man early Sunday after he allegedly tried to run one of them over with his minivan, police said.
The 27-year-old man was kicked out of Club Onyx on Christopher Columbus Boulevard at some point during the night, according to investigators.
Around 12:30 a.m., he allegedly got into an argument over his ejection with bouncers in the club's parking lot.
One of the security guards told police the man said, "I'll kill everyone here," then got into his green Kia minivan and tried to run one of the bouncers over.
Two guards – a man and woman, both 35 – opened fire on the vehicle, striking the man multiple times in both shoulders and legs, police said.
He was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in stable condition.
The minivan was recovered at the Broad Street on-ramp to I-95, police said.
A short time before the shooting, the man got into a dispute with his 21-year-old wife on the highway, according to investigators.
Police said that, as the two were arguing, a dark-colored four-door Honda pulled up, and its driver got out and tried to intervene.
The man's wife, who reportedly works at Club Onyx, told investigators she heard four gunshots as she walked away from the altercation.
The woman then ran back to the strip club, with her husband pursuing her, police said.
No injuries were reported as a result of that initial round of gunfire. The Honda fled before officers arrived, and its driver remained unidentified Sunday afternoon.
Police said the investigation was still in its early stages, and that no charges had yet been filed in connection with either incident.

I am concerned if these places are coming to have armed bouncers. Most of these people are creeps to begin with. Not good.

Did these bouncers have to step out from a safer position in order to fire at the van?
Why do so many members of this TUSCL forum just seem to accept thug bouncers as an unavoidable reality, and one that they should be subsidizing?

I also am very concerned if there are armed bouncers who are this quick to start firing. These people are not authorized to act as cops. They are not trained to be cops. I don't think they are trained at all and many of them are just creeps.

"One of the security guards told police the man said, "I'll kill everyone here," then got into his green Kia minivan and tried to run one of the bouncers over."
Self-defense for themselves and for other parties.
Bouncers are not cops and they are not authorized to act like cops, and I am not pleased at the idea of lots of them running around with guns.
Also, this statement is from the bouncers. They have to be considered as homicide suspects when evaluating their credibility.
Has anyone found follow on investigation info about this matter?

And, you know, what doesn't please you just might be a necessity for security, if not survival, for others.
"Ideals are peaceful. History is violent." -- Brad Pitt as "Don 'Wardaddy' Collier" in the movie "Fury." The quote seems somewhat appropriate right now.
Anyone have more information about any follow up investigation?
