A report from this weekend's shopping frenzy at the Philadelphia Premium Outlets

The following was sent in by Limerick Township Police Chief Bill Albany:

responded to the Philadelphia Premium Outlet Mall Saturday afternoon after receiving reports that a man displayed a handgun during a dispute over a parking space. Witnesses told police that a silver Nissan pulled in front of an SUV to take the parking space the SUV was pulling into.  The female operator of the SUV made a comment to the male operator of the Nissan and the male lifted his jacket to display a handgun tucked in his waistband. The male stated something to the effect of "You don't want this, don't act stupid."

The female left the area and called police.
