Phoenix has bangers,so this may have gotten loud.Someone could have walked up to him and shot him & gotten away with it unless surveillance cameras picked it up.

Who was the genius that put fireworks near lighter fluid and propane? Why was propane inside the store anyway?

Attempted murder! So many counts that they should be buried under the jail.

Probably the little green cylinders meant for grills lanterns etc. Lots of stores carry them inside. Tons of flammables are inside of stores. Spray paint, air freshener, fix a flat, hair spray, pretty much everything in an aerosol can. I was camping once and my dad tossed a small bag of trash in the fire for some stupid reason. He didn't realize there was a half can of fix-a-flat in it. It made an explosion like you would not believe! Knocked a couple of us on our asses, burning logs and embers were thrown everywhere. The rangers came about 10 mins later and said they could hear it from their office almost a mile away lol. Burned my eyebrows/eyelashes and hair pretty good.
