Snack thief opens fire into NYC 7-Eleven after workers confront him for stealing: video

A man opened fire into a lower Manhattan 7-Eleven store when employees confronted him for stealing snacks over the weekend, according to cops and new video.

The suspect snatched up bags of chips, candy and other munchies from the convenience store on Church Street near Park Place and attempted to leave with the loot just before 5 a.m. Sunday, police said. 

Store workers tried to stop him — but the snack thief was able to leave, anyway, cops said.
