Jerry Saffo Euclid, Ohio man shot dead at Cleveland Family Dollar by impatient shopper angry he had held up line. Un-identified suspect remains at large. 

A 32 year old man has been shot dead by an ‘impatient’ shopper at an Ohio Family Dollar store after holding up the line.

Jerry Saffo, 32, of Euclid, was pronounced dead by responding cops Friday, October 16, just on 6pm at the shop in Cleveland, where he went shopping with his girlfriend and children, police said.

Saffo got involved in an argument with a cashier over ‘payment arrangements’ when he was checking out, prompting a security guard to intervene and escort him outside, police said in a statement according to cleveland19.com.

The pair were discussing the issue when another man who was ‘angry with [Saffo] for making him wait’ longer in the line came outside and confronted them in a parking lot, police said.

The security guard then went back inside as Saffo and the second man starting arguing, leading Saffo to punch him, police said.
