Richard Jones Surrenders to Police After Shooting Up West Philly Bar with AK-47 Rifle

Richard Jones, 26, surrendered to police Saturday after being accused of shooting up a West Philadelphia bar with an AK-47 rifle.

As you can see from the video below, a man matching Jones' description, drove up to a Philly bar last Tuesday night, got out of his car, which continued to roll back, reached for the door and when he could not enter, started shooting. Thankfully, no one was hurt. According to NBCPhiladelphia, investigators said as he sped off when he was finished shooting up the bar, he fired one shot at police officers but missed.

His family said someone called him from the bar on the night in question saying his brother was being held hostage. His father is calling for safety of his son, but did he consider the safety of the bar patrons last Tuesday night or even the safety of the police officer he allegedly fired at? Two wrongs don't make a right. The young man, who a family member said isn't a saint, was very tearful during his surrender to police. I hope that's a sign that he will turn his life around. The family did the right thing when they urged him to surrender to the police.
