Craigslist iPhone Shooting

 Craigslist iPhone Shooting

On late Monday, a San Diego couple was shot after meeting a potential buyer who was responding to a Craigslist advertisement.

The two victims posted a Craigslist ad to sell an iPhone and then arranged to meet a prospective buyer in a McDonald’s parking lot.  When the seller and buyer met, the alleged gunman got into the victims' BMW and brandished a gun at the sellers.

“During the potential sale of that cellphone, the suspect produced a gun and tried to rob them of the cellphone and cash,” San Diego police Lt. Paul Rorrison said.

There was a fight inside the vehicle between the three people for the iPhone and the gun fired, officials said.

The sellers, a man and a woman, each suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. They were able to drive themselves to a San Diego hospital after the shooting.
