A Wayne, PA man accused of carrying a Glock in his backpack that accidentally discharged inside a crowded Bucks County Wawa will be arraigned in county court next month after waiving all misdemeanors at a recent preliminary hearing.
Jordan Blake Busby, 29, of the 400 block of Strafford Avenue, is charged with 10 counts of misdemeanor recklessly endangering another person following the incident earlier this spring at the 550 Easton Road store in Warrington Township.
On March 11, 2025, at 1:50 p.m., police responded to the Wawa for reports of shots fired, according to the affidavit.
Upon arrival, police made contact with Busby, who was exiting the store with his hands up, police said. Busby told police he had a Glock in his backpack, and it discharged while inside the store, according to the complaint.
The store was open with numerous patrons and nine Wawa employees inside, police said.
Police recovered a “personally manufactured” firearm from Busby’s backpack, which was a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson polymer 80 model PF940Vs plastic frame/receiver and a Glock slide and barrel.
The gun was not in a holster when it was in the backpack, police said.
A subsequent investigation by Warrington Police and Bucks County detectives found that poor engagements of the firearm’s internal mechanism, due to the poor manufacturing of the 80% polymer receiver, resulted in a malfunction, according to the complaint. The malfunction caused the unintended discharge of the firearm without intentional trigger contact, police said.
Busby is free on $25,000 unsecured bail and is represented by a public defender.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
