It was a humid scorcher of an evening on June twenty ninth when a disturbance at area pawn provider Gold, Guns, & Guitars was reported by a concerned citizen prompting a high level armed response from Florence Police. Witnesses say that the establishment’s gunsmith William McCann began screaming loudly while flailing his arms around in a circular motion while holding a Mossberg shotgun and exclaiming, “I fixed it!” causing some patrons to become alarmed and flee in terror.
One witness described the scene as being that of pure chaos as patrons, some with children as young as 8 years of age fled the scene in horror as Mr. McCann began to screech autistically about his monumental feat of gunsmithing prowess.
“It’s just not right and I don’t feel safe here anymore.” Patron Larry James told Channel 5 WAAF action news team on scene yesterday at Gold Guns and Guitars. “You know I just come in to peddle my snipe trophies and I can’t see as it is and then I have this strange fashionista throwing a gigantic fit while waving a broken shotgun around and it makes me think twice about pawning everything including my kitchen sink here.”
McCann is out on a $500 bond tonight. Florence Police have declined comment however management assures us that this will never happen again. “He will be banished to Fort McCann” said Russel Sprout in a statement to WAAF Action News. “This is unacceptable and not representative of our business model.” he continued sternly.
