Man With Gun Threatens To 'Kill Everybody' In Dispute Over Honey Packet

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — The Stafford County Sheriff's Office is asking the public's help in identifying a man with a firearm they say threatened to "kill everybody" at a Fredericksburg gas station on Sunday.

Deputies responded around 5:12 p.m. for the report of someone with a firearm making threats at the Shell Station at 626 Warrenton Road, according to the incident report. The deputies spoke to witnesses and reviewed surveillance video.

"It was determined a male suspect entered the business and placed a honey packet into his pocket," according to the report. "Shortly after, he would engage in an argument with the store’s clerk. During the aggressive encounter, the suspect pulled out a black handgun from his waistband. The suspect advised everyone was 'lucky' he was there with his granddaughter or he would 'kill everybody.' The suspect would then leave with two other males and a juvenile female in a black SUV."

Investigators said the suspect had tattoos on both arms and was wearing a blue hat, white shirt, and shorts. Anyone with information about this case or who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 540-658-4450.
