READING, PA — A dispute over a parking space in Reading took a violent turn Wednesday night, leaving one man with a stab wound and another with gunshot wounds to the legs.

As reported by WFMZ, police responded to the 1500 block of North 10th Street, where they found a man suffering from a stab wound. During their investigation, the stabbing victim informed officers that he had shot the person who attacked him. The alleged attacker, identified as 32-year-old Jerry Santos, was later found at Reading Hospital with a gunshot wound to the legs.

Authorities have since charged Santos with aggravated assault and related offenses. No other charges have been filed at this time, indicating that police believe the stabbing victim may have acted in self-defense.

While the full details of this incident remain unclear, it serves as an important reminder for those who carry concealed. Getting into an argument over something as trivial as a parking spot is never a good idea—especially if you’re armed. That’s not to say the shooter was in the wrong here; we don’t know how the confrontation escalated. Perhaps he tried to de-escalate but was unable to. It’s very possible.

However, this situation is a lesson for the rest of us: when carrying a firearm, we must keep our egos in check. If someone is yelling at you over a parking spot, it’s best to just let them have it. Personally, I’d rather swallow my pride and walk a little farther than be caught in a confrontation that forces me to use deadly force. At the end of the day, my goal is to make

it home to my family—not win a parking dispute.
