Customers walking out of Target World told FOX 29 the incident is unsettling.
"The number one selling thing in Philadelphia right now it’s guns, it’s not drugs," said Nate. "These guns more than likely will be used to kill someone. That’s the harsh reality."
"We were taking a first-time buyer to buy firearms, we weren’t expecting to see this, but at the same time kind of not shocked," said Joshua Camacho. "I hate to say it but a lot of these stolen weapons are used in murders. I’m just hoping for the best. I’m hoping they can locate the thieves."
